About:
Percona XtraDB Backup is a hot backup utility for MySQL and compatible databases that creates non-blocking backups of InnoDB and XtraDB tables. It supports incremental backups, streaming to multiple formats, and point-in-time recovery, ensuring minimal downtime for production systems.
|
Key Features:
- Non-blocking hot backups for InnoDB/XtraDB
- Incremental and compressed backups
- Point-in-time recovery (PITR)
- Streaming to stdout or other hosts
- Compatibility with MySQL, Percona Server, and MariaDB
|
Use Cases:
- Production database backups without downtime
- Creating base and incremental backup chains
- Point-in-time recovery after data loss or corruption
- Cloning databases for staging or analytics
|
Alternatives:
-
mydumper/myloader
– Logical backup; faster than mysqldump but not transactionally consistent without FTWRL
-
mysqldump
– Built-in logical backup; slower and locks tables; suitable for small datasets
-
MySQL Enterprise Backup
– Commercial tool with similar hot backup capabilities and official support
