InnoDB is the most popular transactional storage engine for MySQL, delivering high performance transaction processing, with row level locking and multi-version concurrency control. It minimizes expensive disk I/O through the efficient use of memory and processor resources. InnoDB is widely known as "Fast, Reliable, and Proven" among MySQL users. The InnoDB storage engine ensures data integrity and reliability, with such capabilities as referential integrity support and automatic data recovery.

InnoDB is distributed and supported by MySQL AB, in both MySQL Enterprise and MySQL Community Editions. The new InnoDB Plugin for MySQL can replace the "built-in" version of the InnoDB storage engine, and offers several important new features and capabilities.

Hot Backup

InnoDB Hot Backup is the ideal solution for online backups of InnoDB tables in MySQL and for setting up replication. It allows you to back up a running InnoDB database under MySQL without setting any locks or disturbing normal database processing. You get a consistent copy of your database, as if the copy were taken at a precise point in time. InnoDB Hot Backup is also the ideal method of setting up new slaves if you use the MySQL replication on InnoDB tables. Order Hot Backup now!
