That does look like a great tool! If we were on all InnoDB I'd probably try switching over to it instead of LVM snapshot-based backups right now. (Since it can do incremental, mostly.) We have a bunch of large MyISAM tables though (MyISAM used because the tables are read-only, so read speed is the only real consideration), so those would have to be handled separately. I could always xtrabackup all the innodb stuff and then just file copy the myisam tables separately though, since I know they won't be changing.
Hmm, may have to give it a try! Thanks.
