I can back up and restore the binaries in a fraction of the time it takes to do a dump or restore it. I shut the MySQL server down so I know I get a clean copy. I also do a weekly mysqldump, to backstop the binary rsync.
TecK, I haven't heard of rsnapshot. I'll give a look. Thanks for the tip. Eric
