How does ZRM take advantage of MySQL Replication?
• ZRM takes full advantage of MySQL replication. If you set up MySQL replication, you can use the replication slave as the backup source. Such backups have zero impact on your primary MySQL instance. • ZRM installed on MySQL Slave will ask the MySQL Master to temporarily stop replication, perform raw backup and then continue replication. • Your MySQL Master can be on any operating system, but for ZRM to take advantage of replication, your MySQL Slave has to be on either Linux or Solaris.
