Hi, the problem is to lock the databases to get a consistent backup.
You'd be better off asking http://www.google.de/#q=mysql+backup . Maybe using a simple mysqldump + transferring the dump to a backup server would meet your requirements (for this, you could use rsync, of course ;-). Have a nice day, Berny ________________________________ From: rsync-boun...@lists.samba.org [mailto:rsync-boun...@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Charalampos Gkevrekis Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 12:08 PM To: rsync@lists.samba.org Subject: Require Information Importance: High Hi there! I would like to ask kindly for some further information concerning Rsync software. What I am planning to do is to replicate data (database) at certain intervals. My first question is, can I do this with Rsync? To be more specific I have a mysql database at a point and I want this database to be replicated to a remote side at real-time. In other words I need to setup a backup process for this database in real time. Could anyone tell me if I can do this with Rsync and give me a clue how can I implement this? Thanks in advance.
