“
Your database server stores some of your enterprise’s most valuable information. Guaranteeing reliable
database backups to prevent data loss in the event of an accident or hardware failure is a critical
checkbox.

The Percona XtraBackup tools provide a method of performing a hot backup of your MySQL data while
the system is running. Percona XtraBackup is a free, online, open source, complete database backups
solution for all versions of Percona Server for MySQL and MySQL®. Percona XtraBackup performs
online non-blocking, tightly compressed, highly secure full backups on transactional systems so that
applications remain fully available during planned maintenance windows.

Facebook users create a vast amount of data every day. To make sure that data is stored
reliably, we back up our databases daily. Facebook was an early adopter of incremental backups
in Percona XtraBackup.
