  <title>Utility for creating MySQL backups via LVM snapshots</title>

  <description>mylvmbackup is a script for quickly creating backups of MySQL server's data

files. To perform a backup, mylvmbackup obtains a read lock on all tables and

flushes all server caches to disk, makes an LVM snapshot of the volume

containing the MySQL data directory, and unlocks the tables again. The snapshot

process takes only a small amount of time. When it is done, the server can

continue normal operations, while the actual file backup proceeds.
