		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I was discussing with a fellow DBA about ways to check the status of existing and/or past RMAN jobs. Good backup scripts usually write their output to some sort of log file so, checking the output is usually a straight-forward task. However, backup jobs can be scheduled in many different ways (crontab, Grid Control, [...]]]></description>

Methodology-wise, I&#8217;m following the general idea described in this forum. Namely: for each of my machines I have one backup directory per week of the year (01, 02, 03, [...]]]></description>

Learn from Wikipedia’s Data Center Overheating. It doesn&#8217;t mean that they didn&#8217;t regularly test their disaster recovery process. Maybe they did but the failover mechanism was broken after the last test. A regular DR [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Firstly, I have to thank my co-workers Singer Wang and Gerry Narvaja for doing a lot of the work that resulted in this comparison. After running both InnoDB Hot Backup and Xtrabackup, we have found that there is a measurable but not large difference between the resources that Xtrabackup and InnoDB Hot Backup consume.

Getting familiar with the msdb schema, especially the backupset and backupmediafamily tables, helps to answer that question since all the backup history is stored in [...]]]></description>

Overall, the blog post was positive, but experiences that others have had (and commented to on that blog post) have made me want to put out another short article about using XtraDB backup.

		<description><![CDATA[As Baron points out, Percona&#8217;s Xtrabackup tool can be used just like InnoDB Hot Backup. Many are wondering, &#8220;is it good enough?&#8221; In fact, I wondered the same thing, and after a few weeks of using and testing Xtrabackup (on machines that have MyISAM and InnoDB tables), I can say: 0) We have not run [...]]]></description>
