]]>The post MySQL Backup Strategies and Tools – MinervaDB Webinar appeared first on The WebScale Database Infrastructure Operations Experts.
]]>Most often Database Systems outages happen due to user error and it is also the biggest reason for data loss / damage or corruption. In these type of failures, It is application modifying or destroying the data on its own or through a user choice. Hardware failure also contributes to database infrastructure crashes and corruption. To address these sort of data reliability issues, you must recover and restore to the point in time before the corruption occurred. Disaster Recover tools returns the data to its original state at the cost of any other changes that were being made to the data since the point the corruption took place. MinervaDB founder and Principal, hosted a webinar (Thursday, June 18, 2020 – 06:00 PM to 07:00 PM PDT) on MySQL backup strategies and tools addressing the topics below:
