Backing up binary data in MySQL
Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2010 5:29 am
Hi everyone
Quick question... At the moment I run backups on MySQL databases just using mysqldump and a combination of options. I normally stuff that into a gzipped tar file straight awaly.
Is that still ok for backing up databases/tables that contain binary columns?
Or is there something more specific I should do when dealing within binary data?
Cheers, B
