Percona XtraBackup is an open source and non-blocking backup solution for InnoDB and XtraDB data. It works with MySQL 5.0 and 5.1 databases. XtraBackup is 100% open-source and free.
XtraBackup has many powerful features that solve real-world problems when backing up very large, heavily loaded databases:
* Perform backups online—avoid interrupting your database
* Perform streaming backups to another server
* Perform incremental backups; save money on disk space and bandwidth
* Create new replication slaves easily
* Perform advanced analysis of data and index files
* Move individual tables between servers without restarting (requires XtraDB for import)
