I have one suggestion (that does not answer your question, sorry). Do binary backup (mysqldump) for disaster recovery (a must), but also do a text backup (SELECT * INTO OUTFILE) of EACH table (of course, you must do this with a script). The second method (each table saved separately) will make it easier to correct human mistakes (which are more common than mechanical errors) which affects only a table or two. If you'll save the text backups, you'll be able to compare tables from different times.
