mylvmbackup is a Perl script for quickly creating MySQL backups. It uses LVM's snapshot feature to do so. To perform a backup, mylvmbackup obtains a read lock on all tables and flushes all server caches to disk, creates a snapshot of the volume containing the MySQL data directory, and unlocks the tables again. This article shows how to use it on an Ubuntu 8.10 server.

rsvndump is a command line tool that is able to dump a Subversion repository that resides on a remote server. All data is dumped in the format that can be read an written by svnadmin dump, so the data which is produced can easily be importerd into a new Subversion repository.
Actually, a remote dump can be done using svnsync and svnadmin dump on the locally synced repository. However, if the remote server does not run Subversion 1.5 or later, svnsync is unable to dump subdirectories of a repository only. This can be solved by syncing the whole repository and using svndumpfilter afterwards, but data of other subdirectories needs to be transferred over the network for no reason. And if you don't have access to the repository root, the whole thing will not work.
Long story short: If you want to dump a subdirectory of a remote repository which runs a version of Subversion prior to 1.5, this is the right tool for you. If not, please consider using svnsync.
rsvndump is written in C and built on top of the Subversion API, so it can offer all functionality needed to access a Subversion repository, including SSL authentication. And it's GPLed.

Das Problem …
PHP-Scripte werden nach einer bestimmten Laufzeit abgebrochen (normalerweise nach 30 Sekunden), und so funktioniert ein Backup mit diversen Tools nur bis zu einer bestimmten Größe.
Braucht das Script länger als die 30 Sekunden, so wird es vom Server einfach abgebrochen, und man kommt nicht mehr an sein Backup heran. Gleiches gilt für das Wiedereinspielen eines Backups.
Wer einmal ein Dumpfile von Hand in viele kleinere Einzelabschnitte zerlegt hat, um eine Datenbank wieder herzustellen, der weiß genau, wovon wir reden.
MySQLDumper ist die Lösung …
MySQLDumper umgeht den Timeout-Error mit Hilfe eines kleinen Tricks: Er liest nur eine bestimmte Anzahl von Datensätzen aus der Tabelle aus, merkt sich, wie weit er gekommen ist, und ruft sich anschließend selbst auf. Dadurch erhält das Script bei jedem Aufruf wieder die vollen 30 Sekunden und umgeht so den Timeout-Error. Das gleiche Prinzip benutzt MySQLDumper auch beim Wiederherstellen der Daten.
MySQLDumper kann die Daten beim Sichern sofort packen. Auch das Wiederherstellungsscript kann direkt aus dieser gepackten Datei lesen, ohne dass sie auf dem Server entpackt werden muss! Natürlich kann man die Datei auch ungepackt lassen, aber spätestens beim Hochladen eines Backups weiß man dies zu schätzen.
