Use Cases and Deployment Scope

All online MySQL backups are done using XtraBackup. It's 100% reliable, and we have done restores with no problems. The alternative is to do a cold backup, but shutdown of a prod DB is not practical. Also, doing MySQL dump is not practical for large databases.

Pros

Reliable backups without locking the DB
Easy to restore from
No downtime whilst backing up

Cons

Better online documentation on how to use

Likelihood to Recommend

Online backups for databases using innodb is ideal. If you have too many myisam tables it still needs to lock the tables before backing up so may be not ideal.
