'incremental' backup of mysqld files
I used to rsync all mysql files to an other server which is not possible with the ftp storage I just received.
yes, I know you can run a bin-log (which I am doing) but it would take about 12h in case of a crash to play everything back for a 1-day binlog and even longer for a weekly snapshot.
I imagine something like this:
- mysql slave server contains:
- directory with the most current data
- directory with data which is exactly 24h old
=> I'd like to make some kind of 'diff' between the files in these directories, similar to how rsync does it, compress it and transfer it to the ftp server. Once a week I'll do a full backup (80GB data)
