complex undertaking -- especially for today's large Web-scale
applications," said Zack Urlocker, VP of products, Sun Microsystems
database group. "MySQL users have told us that global backup and
recovery is very important to them, and we are thrilled that we can now

recovery across all MySQL servers. Designed to dramatically simplify
the complex process of MySQL database backup and recovery, the Zmanda
Management Console has an intuitive graphical user interface and
automated backup scheduler.
-
Point-in-Time recovery – ZRM

-
MySQL storage engine optimization –
ZRM for MySQL can detect the specific storage engine being used, and
then implements a backup process that is optimized for that storage
engine.
-
Local and remote configuration support –
ZRM for MySQL can be implemented on the database server or can manage
backups of the database server from a remote system.
-
Visual log explorer – ZRM
provides a powerful graphical MySQL log analyzer that enables DBAs to
visually pinpoint an unwanted event or action and activate precision
recovery, along with ongoing security analysis and performance audits.
The latest version of ZRM for MySQL, version 2.1, includes native
support for Solaris(TM) 10 Operating Systems and Linux, and a unified
global management capability designed for geographically dispersed MySQL
instances. ZRM 2.1 also offers a comprehensive plug-in architecture for
leading snapshot technologies provided by Solaris(TM) ZFS, Linux LVM,
Microsoft Windows VSS, NetApp Data ONTAP, and Veritas VxFS. Snapshots
enable DBAs to create even quicker and more consistent backup images of
live MySQL databases.
"ZRM for MySQL has helped simplify my day-to-day workload as a DBA and
gives me the confidence that our data storage is securely backed up,"
said Joseph Sandoval, senior system administrator at Jigsaw Data
