hi, i have server under quite heavy workload (magento), but it is keeping up over the day - at night, especially when webmin is backing up the databeses, it starts to get unresponsive. is there a way to niceify this process?

Well, it's a bit difficult, because you really need to backup in a single transaction to get a snapshot. And that will use a lot of resource. You can use nice, and more importantly ionice to lessen the impact of the backup, but it might be better to look at http://www.innodb.com/doc/hot_backup/manual.html ( magento uses the innodb engine ) for a hot backup solution that may impace less. hth, Steve On Tue, 2011-05-24 at 09:34 +0200, Pat Erler wrote: > hi, > > > i have server under quite heavy workload (magento), but it is keeping > up over the day - at night, especially when webmin is backing up the > databeses, it starts to get unresponsive. is there a way to niceify > this process? > > > PAT > > -- > Pat Erler > Gmail: pe...@gm... > Skype: pat_erler > Yahoo: perler > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security. > With the market-leading solution for virtual backup and recovery, > you get blazing-fast, flexible, and affordable data protection. > Download your free trial now. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/quest-d2dcopy1 > - Forwarded by the Webmin mailing list at web...@li...

thanks for the insight, i will have a look how the server performs this night and if it is still a problem, i will follow your advice (but in the end, i really would like to have a set it and forget it solution within webmin as almost all of my other hosts are running on webmin as well) regards, PAT On Tue, May 24, 2011 at 09:56, Steve Holdoway <st...@gr...>wrote: > Well, it's a bit difficult, because you really need to backup in a > single transaction to get a snapshot.
