Is an NTBackup of a MySQL data directory reliable
- by Justin Dearing
This question was asked on the MySQL forums in 2004 with no answers.
I'm installing MySQL 5.0.x on a Windows 2003 Server for use with Drupal. I began to configure the backup with mysqldump when it occurred to me that an ntbackup taken using shadow copying should be reliable enough for backing up the database. Is there any flaw in my logic?
