I am writing a backup system in Python, with a Django front-end. I have decided to implement the scheduling in a slightly strange way - the client will poll the server (every 10 minutes or so), for a list of backups that need doing. The server will only respond when the time to backup is reached. This is to keep the system platform indep...

Sql Server and Oracle have commercial products like Idera (Sql Safe) and Quest (LiteSpeed) that dramatically speed up backup and restores. Does mysql have any commercial software like that? I'm working with large amounts of data in mysql and if we have to restore it takes 8-10 hours. So I'm hoping to move to a commercial product that...

I am thinking about a script/program that can run in background, and attempt to backup or synchronize a given filesystem path to a mirror location (probably located on an external/separate storage device).

The nexus book: http://www.sonatype.com/books/nexus-book/reference/. Does not seem to spend any time on how one should go about backing up a nexus repository.
