Hi All,
Working in a scenario where we have ~20 databases on a single instance of myql (Percona 5.1), I have 3 servers, a prod, a reporting (replicating from prod) and a test environments. Right now I do dumps of each database and keep a copy of it from the reporting server and keep the dumps for a week. From time to time, I have to copy the data from prod to the test server. so I zcat the compress dump file and load it into the test.
This process works fine, but I am thinking that using XtraBackup would work better.
So my questions are these: Can I do something similar to mysqldump on each database and have separate files for each? How can I import just one database into the test server.
Thank you in advance.
Luis
