That's a funny aspect... No money in it, due to the fact that's freeware? And here I thought the money was in selling the licenses for the agents... or do you know something we don't know?
If there is enough MySQL running out there, there should be a market for a TDP agent to back it up - in fact people using MySQL will initially have saved money on the database - so they might have some money left over for an backup client... and with the numbers of MySQL databases runnin "out there" there must be a market... So I don't think the money issue is the problem here - but maybe the result of an strategic idea... and with IBM as a spokesman for Open Source software it's a funny result. regards Flemming -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] vegne af Richard Sims Sendt: 2. juni 2005 13:22 Til: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Emne: Re: Backing up MySQL question On Jun 2, 2005, at 4:37 AM, Farren Minns wrote: > We have a Linux (Suse 9), server running a MySQL 4.1.10 database > and are > currently looking at ways of backing it up.

No one has experience with the TDP for MySQL client: there is no such thing. MySQL is one of those freebee, open software applications where there's no money in it for IBM to devote resources to a TDP client. What IBM suggests for MySQL backups can be found at: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp3980.html Also, search the List archives for "MySQL" and "My SQL" for past discussions.
