MySQL Enterprise Backup 3.6 got the attention of blogger Rob Young who posts that MySQL Enterprise Backup (MEB) performs high performant, online "hot" backups for MySQL databases and provides all of the backup/recovery features and functionality from a scriptable command line interface. Young is especially gratified to find Single File Streaming, which allows DBAs to offload the footprint of backup images to a different server or storage device without an intermediate "save" step on the local MySQL database server. He is also enthusiastic about the inclusion of support for SBT interface, which enables the DBA to generate and stream MySQL backup images directly to advanced enterprise backup media management solutions (Oracle Secure Backup, Symantec Netbackup, most others) that are already deployed within an environment. MEB 3.6 is available for free download and 30-day trial at Oracle eDelivery.

With a 5 TB native capacity and 240 MB/second native throughput, the StorageTek T10000C offers more than 3x the capacity and is 50 to 70 percent faster than any other tape drive, including the LT0-5 and the IBM TS1130. Compared to disk-only solutions from EMC, Oracle's StorageTek solution scales to 30x the capacity and 50x the performance, while requiring 99 percent less power and cooling. This increased capacity and throughput helps customers reduce the costs of enterprise storage while providing the fastest backup and archive solutions available today.
Oracle's StorageTek tape storage solutions are the first to scale to an exabyte (1000 PB with 2:1 compression) to handle the world's largest archive and long-term backup requirements.
Oracle's StorageTek tiered storage solutions incorporate the advantages of both disk and tape, and deliver the most scalable, cost-efficient, and energy-efficient storage solutions for heterogeneous data protection, consolidation, archiving and cloud environments.
