Well, this states: It's also worth mentioning that the default options will make sure your backup is safe, you don't need to turn any special flag on. > And another reason not to use mysqldump on production systems: the > nightmare begins when you have to restore a huge dump. OK, but poor performance (while still bad) is a completely different thing than inconsistent data. > (that's why I use other tools like mylvmbackup and mydumper when I can > afford to loose some records) I don't understand you. You complain that mysqldump was unreliable (and causing inconsistent backup data), which is apparently not true, and then you recommend some other tools which may "loose some records"? This makes little sense to me.
