Hi all,
I'm really new to the MYSQL world and have a quick question about backup routines. My MySQL is running on Windows 2000 and currently I use Veritas Backup Exec for backing up my Windows 2000 and Linux servers. It seems Backup Exec is causing some problems with one of my MySQL databases as when I arrive at work in the morning the application which uses this database has crashed and one table must be repaired.
My first port of call was to remove the Data folder from the backup routine but this now leaves a gaping whole is my back and restore capabilities. Can any advise as to a method I can use to backup my MySQL data, i've tried MySQLDUMP but it seems to take for ever to run (This particular database is about 900MB).
Many Thanks
Jez
