Women in Technology  Hear us Roar    Live Backups of MySQL Using

far as I'm concerned as I'm about to put a MySQL-based app live
:-)  What sort of performance does the replica server need
relative to the master? It looks like the updates to the replica
DB can happen asynchronously as another thread is polling the
logfile, so perhaps it doesn't need to be an identical box to
the master. But where does the point come that the backup is
compromised because the replicant can't keep up?  Main Topics
