Are you located in the Charlottesville area? If so I would be interested to talk with you about some potential contract-based work.

The more coverage this topic gets, the less pain DBAs will suffer. We developed a lot of expertise in backup and recovery of MySQL and we would love to contribute to your backup chapter. Drop me a line if interested. --------- Regards Dmitri Joukovski Hi Baron,

We're not going to speculate about upcoming features, but if it's in an unreleased version (which it is at the moment, but it may change quite a lot before it's officially released) we'll write about it a little bit.

Hi,

Maybe it would be great to mention parallel dump and restore to speed those lengthy operations:

Mysqlpdump:
http://www.fr3nd.net/projects/mysqlpdump/

Mysqlprestore:
http://mysql-ha.com/2007/09/13/mysqlprestore-for-parallel-restores/

And the new 5.1 mysqlimport (which supports this feature).

Right now I have mentioned it in a paragraph or two in "What to Back Up." Thanks for the topic. Failover will be part of the High Availability chapter I think. If you need advice right now on filesystem copies, check out Peter's blog post on <a href="http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2006/08/21/using-lvm-for-mysql-backup-and-replication-setup/" rel="nofollow">backups with LVM</a>. It assumes some prior knowledge, but it's good advice. Selective backups is a good topic to address in the scripting section.
