# Overview

A simple wrapper script to get a MySQL backup from an LVM snapshot. The script `./backups-lvm-mysql.sh` does the following:

  1. MySQL flush and lock tables

  2. Take LVM snapshot

  3. MySQL unlock tables

  4. cp snapped MySQL database files to some configured location

  5. Remove LVM snapshot

A good alternative to say `mysqldump` if your using LVM. See http://www.lullabot.com/blog/article/mysql-backups-using-lvm-snapshots.

    sudo make install

# Usage

    ./backups-lvm-mysql.sh
