Using an R1Soft near-Continuous Data Protection Server (running Windows or Linux) you can backup 1 or more MySQL Servers running Linux.

By leveraging the R1Soft near-CDP process for Linux you get consistent point in time block level snapshots of running MySQL in stances.  Because of our unique kernel level backup process both InnoDB and MyISAM are supported and locks are held for less than a couple of milli-seconds during the backup process ensuring continuous operation of your busy MySQL server during the entire backup process even for very large databases.

R1Soft unique near-CDP process for Linux will passively track changes at the block level top your storage volume and during synrhcinzations only changed blocks are read from the disk and sent over the network to the CDP Server for archiving in a recovery point.

Very large volumes and databases can be backed up qickly after the initial first seed backup is taken.  Below is a Load graph from a customer server showing the before and after picture after switching to R1Soft CDP software for their MySQL backups.
