Rectiphy Adds Live MySQL backup to ActiveImage Protector Linux Edition

Faster hot imaging of MySQL databases along with other applications provides Linux administrators with advanced disaster recovery not available in other solutions

Murrieta, CA - Rectiphy Corp. has released ActiveImage Protector Linux Edition 3.1 with new features including the ability to backup live MySQL databases without having to stop the service, support for additional Linux distributions and a new streamlined approach for backing up Linux system disks.  First released in January 2011, ActiveImage Protector Linux Edition features superior speed, support for most Linux kernels, optimization for virtual environments and hot image backups of live production applications now including MySQL databases.

ActiveImage Protector for Linux 3.1 is one the only backup solutions that is able to backup live MySQL databases – the world’s leading open-source database. Before, when Linux users wanted to create a MySQL backup, they either had to stop MySQL or issue a read lock on their MySQL tables in order to generate a consistent backup. For busy 24/7 production databases this was inconvenient. Now, with AIP for Linux 3.1, users can back up the live MySQL databases without having to stop the service along with other applications as frequently as needed.

ActiveImage Protector Linux Edition is an advanced disk imaging backup technology for Linux environments. ActiveImage Protector for Linux incorporates Smart Sector snapshot technology which speeds up backups and reduces disk storage space in Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 formats. ActiveImage Protector Linux Edition supports hot and cold imaging, bare metal recovery and can retrieve individual files and folders from a mounted backup image. ActiveImage Protector Linux Edition supports backup of the Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) as well as volume type backups which facilitates disaster recovery in enterprise environments.
