Reduced Risks While Protecting and Deploying MySQL Enterprise or Community Editions

NetVault: Backup APM for MySQL eliminates the need to create complex backup scripts. It's flexible enough to account for a large number of recovery scenarios.

You no longer has to worry about understanding MySQL internals before being able to implement a backup policy that prevents committed transactions from being lost during backup. You also doesn't have to worry about understanding the proper time to purge the binary logs. This knowledge has all been built into NetVault: Backup APM for MySQL.

NetVault: Backup APM for MySQL includes these flexible backup features:

• full, incremental, and differential backups while data is online and accessible
• common UI across multiple storage engines
• protection down to the table level

By relying on NetVault: Backup APM for MySQL to implement backup policies, your staff can be freed to focus on more critical tasks without risking their ability to recover exactly what is needed in the event of a failure. In addition, their confidence is increased by knowing that MySQL data is protected no matter what.

Speeded Up Restores to Reduce Downtime

With NetVault: Backup APM for MySQL, you also no longer have to manually issue each command required in the recovery process. Or determine exactly which binary logs need restoring and in what order they need to be applied. The customer can simply select what needs to be restored, choose the backup set to restore from and if appropriate, the time or position point to restore to and NetVault: Backup's APM for MySQL automatically performs the restore without further interaction.

Restores are faster due to the reduced reliance on human interaction. Better yet, the chance for a syntax error in a complicated script, an error that would require a restart, is eliminated.
