About:
mydumper is a high-performance MySQL logical backup tool designed for parallel backups and restores. It offers significant speed improvements over traditional mysqldump by using multiple threads for data extraction. It also provides features like consistent snapshots, automatic compression, and split files for easier management of large databases.
Key Features:
  • Multi-threaded parallelism for backups and restores
  • Consistent point-in-time snapshots across databases
  • Automatic file splitting and compression
  • Logical backup format with metadata preservation
Use Cases:
  • Performing fast backups of large MySQL or MariaDB databases
  • Restoring databases quickly using parallel threads
  • Creating consistent snapshots for replication setup
Alternatives:
  • mysqldump – Standard MySQL utility, but significantly slower on large datasets as it operates single-threaded.
  • Percona XtraBackup – Performs physical backups which are faster for large databases, but requires InnoDB engine and locks tables.
