This is what I have been using, pretty simple, but has the flexibility of<br>
doing things PRE and POST run. I generally put a copy to s3 storage POST<br>
hook. Works on both slaves, masters, but be warned on masters you should<br>
lock tables to ensure integrity (Causes application outage, although if in<br>
your environment you have a window of maintenance, you should be fine)<br>

Subject: [kwlug-disc] MySQL Backups<br>
<br>
Hello All.<br>
<br>
I am looking for an open source free mysql backup and monitoring tool. I<br>
would like to have a web GUI where I can see the status of all of my servers<br>
and backups. Similar<br>
to <a href="http://www.manageengine.com/sql-server-monitoring-launch.html" target="_blank">www.manageengine.com/sql-server-monitoring-launch.html</a><br>
