Proper Backup Techniques?

Hi GreyGnome;

You do not need to flush tables yourself or set it to read_only. Xtrabackup/Innobackupex will handle the flushing for you, and enabling read-only on the server defeats a lot of the purpose of a hot backup.

Thanks for the reply. But then there’s a possibility of modification between the backup and checksum times, is there not?
