Percona XtraBackup for MySQL Reviews

Yoann L.

Advanced user of Percona XtraBackup for MySQL
★★★★★
Easy, fast and reliable

What do you like best?

Backupping is transparent to applications

Provides a fast way to backup compared to logical solutions, especially mysqldump

What do you dislike?

As it's a physical backup, it lacks by design some features compared to logical backups

Plus, it should need to be tested to ensure we have a functional backup, which can be a source of pain depending on how/where backups are stored

A "broken" backup could happen if data files are already broken

This is design drawbacks, I do not know if it could be any better regarding these issues

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

It did not solve daily backups unfortunately, we miss some features (possibility to restore some but not every databases)

It helps however for migrations and of course galera SSTs

Benefits are completely clear: ease of managment for galera cluster with the possibility to synchronize a node without interrupting applications while reducing the time needed
