Hi again. It's probably a better idea to use a dedicated backup tool to do this. Puppet wasn't designed as a backup tool. It can likely be setup to manage the backup software and such. I personally do backups with amanda which I manage with puppet using a module I found and some extra classes to generate some exported resources to configure the actual backups on the amanda server. I use another tool to do mysql backups it's called xtrabackup and it only does MySQL databases. I then use rsync (Also managed with puppet) to copy those backups to a backup server.
