Re: Need a SIMPLE and COMPLETE Backup Tool
Note his use of words like "supports" and "allows". This is where COMPLETE conflicts with SIMPLE.
"to HDD, FTP, Network or cloud" -- that gives you 'complete', but not 'simple'.
Simple: Just make a copy on disk. Complete: Move that copy to another location for disaster protection.
Simple: No compression or encryption. Complete: Compression (to avoid running out of disk space), encryption (for safety).
Simple: Dump all tables (etc). Complete: Be able to dump one table.
Complete: Clone a Slave to make another Slave; handle Galera clusters; etc. (XtraBackup is good here)
Simple: XtraBackup can run without stopping the server. (Many products, including mysqldump, either stop the server or lock it for a long time.)
Disclaimer: I have no knowledge of mysqlbackupftp, and I am not intending to criticize it.
