Backing up databases like MySQL or SQL Server without causing downtime can be tricky. To avoid disruptions, use incremental backups to only back up changes, and transaction log backups to capture ongoing transactions. This way, you can restore to a specific point in time without affecting your users. To minimize backup windows, try snapshot-based backups or schedule backups during off-peak hours.
These methods help maintain business continuity while keeping your backups up to date! 😊
