Any Mysql db smaller than 200GB is being backed up by a combination of |
| 13 |
LVM/Ext3 at a large Internet company with a big purple Y. It's mildly |
| 14 |
painful to setup, but RHEL uses LVM by default so it's just a matter of |
| 15 |
resizing to get the partitions you need. Once that's done you can kick |
| 16 |
off snapshots with very little effort. |

Not sure where you heard it was ineffective and I'd ignore further |
