“This tutorial describes how to set up database replication in
MySQL. MySQL replication allows you to have an exact copy of a
database from a master server on another server (slave), and all
updates to the database on the master server are immediately
replicated to the database on the slave server so that both
databases are in sync. This is not a backup policy because an
accidentally issued DELETE command will also be carried out on the
slave; but replication can help protect against hardware failures
though.“In this tutorial I will show how to replicate the database
exampledb from the master with the IP address 192.168.0.100 to a
slave. Both systems (master and slave) are running Debian Sarge;
however, the configuration should apply to almost all distributions
with little or no modification…”
