Busy database administrators (DBA) using MySQL may be interested in two recent offerings - the Zmanda Recovery Manager (ZRM) for MySQL Enterprise and ZRM for MySQL Cluster. ZRM for MySQL offers DBAs an easy-to-use, flexible, and robust backup and recovery solution.

ZRM for MySQL Enterprise

ZRM for MySQL Enterprise is the backup and recovery solution for business-critical databases. It is licensed on an annual subscription basis with four service level options available (Basic, Silver, Gold, and Platinum) depending on need.

ZRM for MySQL Cluster

ZRM for MySQL Cluster is the backup and recovery solution designed for the demands of MySQL Cluster CGE. This edition of ZRM provides non-blocking backup of MySQL Cluster and consolidates backup data dispersed among all cluster nodes to a single system making it easier to recover data in case of emergency. This version is offered as a perpetual license.

ZRM for MySQL provides comprehensive backup and recovery capabilities for MySQL databases. With ZRM, system administrators can:

• Perform backups that are optimized for storage engine and MySQL configuration

• Schedule full and incremental backups of your MySQL database
