MySQL备份方法有许多种，要根据业务需求来制定适合自已的方案，以前在QQ群里经常见到有朋友询问如何备份的事情，也时常会有热心的朋友答复：做主从，然后在从上备份就行了，这个方法勉强能用，可是很多朋友们的生产环境大多是单台DB，就像我所在的游戏行业，一款游戏可能开几百组服务器，做个主从，是不可能的事情，毕竟成本很重要，我就说下目前我所知道的备份方法：
1,主从架构，在从上做备份。
2,对于单台服务器，如果存储引擎是innodb格式的，可以采用binlog来实时热备份，这种方式的优点：实时热备，数据完整，但需要注意磁盘空间。还有一种方法就是用xtrabackup,关于xtrabackup具体的使用方法我会在下一篇文章中说明。
3,mysqldump --single-transaction
假如我们的表为事务存储引擎InnoDB表或BDB表,此选项不会干扰对表的读写。因为数据库是可以做到所读取的数据处于同一个时间点的。
4，文件系统快照（LVM）在线备份。
一，Xtrabackup备份与恢复实例：
1，安装Xtrabackup，直接下载二进制版本解压，下面的实验是用的xtrabackup-0.9，现在最新的稳定版本是xtrabackup-1.2。
2，下面的试验是模拟清空了两表中的数据(清空了一张innodb格式与一张myisam格式表中的数据)，然后进行数据恢复,首先要保证表结构正常，在我们进行实验之前，innodb表与myisam表中各有100W条记录，我们首先进行了全备份,然后又插入了50W条记录，进行增量备份，接着又插入了200W条记录，进行第二次增量备份，也就是进行了1次全量+2次增量之后，我们清空两张表中的内容，并进行恢复。
mysql> select count(id) from innodb;
