dear community, i have a problem. i have installed the current version of debian (64bit - lvm). i have installed a mysql databaseserver from Debian repository. so now i have a 6gb mysql database. i must backup this database live without downtimes. if i do a mysqldump, the database gets locked (i have tried all Options incl. do not locking tables) in each case. so now i have installed mylvmbackup. if i do a snapshot, all is working very fast and fine. after the snapshot was created, i can Access to this directly with cd /var/cache/mylvmbackup/mnt/backup/lib/mysql so now until this step, all working really fine. but if i want do a cp -R /var/cache/mylvmbackup/mnt/backup/lib/mysql /backup the mysql databaseserver hangs until the copy command is finished. the same is if i do a tar or zip. thats my Problem. now: how i can do a running backup without downtimes? in this i case i have a snapshot but cant move the data outside from the snapshot Location... can anybody helps me? thank you many greets
