With mysql|mariadb, having a consistent dump needs to lock tables during dump, not acceptable on production servers. Even with specialised tools for hotdump, doing the dump on prod servers is too heavy about I/O (I have huge db, writing the dump is expensive and long). I used to have a slave juste for the dump (easy to stop slave, dump, and start slave), but after a while it wasn't able to follow the writings all the day long (prod was on ssd and it wasn't, dump hd was 100% busy all the day long), so it's for me really easier to rsync the raw files once a day on a cheap host before dump. (of course, I need to flush & lock table during the snapshot, before rsync, but it's just one or two seconds, still acceptable) -- Daniel -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
