 "ZRM For MySQL Now Available On Ubuntu")
Open Source backup and recovery software maker Zmanda, has announced that the Zmanda Recovery Manager (ZRM) for MySQL is now available on Ubuntu.
Supporting all major Linux distributions, this latest release of ZRM for MySQL also includes some new functionalities to increase MySQL DBA operational productivity and control.
ZRM for MySQL is primarily designed to help MySQL DBAs prevent serious damage caused by data loss in the event of system or database failure.
According to Zmanda, unlike traditional backup solutions that provide an agent for MySQL and essentially force-fit a MySQL environment into a system-wide backup process, ZRM is designed specifically for MySQL databases and includes features for the unique requirements of the MySQL DBA, such as MySQL storage engine awareness and granular point-in-time recovery.
“The latest release of ZRM for MySQL includes important enhancements that we added based, in large part, on feedback from the MySQL DBA community,” stated Chander Kant, Zmanda CEO. “Support for Ubuntu, one of the fastest-growing Linux distributions, will expand the market for ZRM, and the new enterprise features, such as better support for remote servers, will significantly improve overall MySQL DBA productivity.”
The latest release of ZRM for MySQL also includes enhancements designed to improve support for remote MySQL servers, fine-tune ZRM for optimal backup, and deliver more flexible reporting. Some of these new features are:
Support for incremental backup for remote MySQL servers to reduce the load on MySQL server and network during backup.
Ability to backup a database across a firewall
Support for encryption and compression of backup images
New pluggable architecture
A scheduling plug-in that lets DBAs postpone backups based on DBA-defined thresholds
Pre- and post-backup plug-ins that allow a DBA to perform certain actions on MySQL before or after backup
ZRM for MySQL is available in an Enterprise version and a Community version. While the community version is on offer for free, the Enterprise version is available as part of a paid subscription to the Zmanda Network that includes certified and pre-compiled software, technical support, knowledgebase access, software updates and security alerts.
