Scenario: Master-Master replication Description: Master A is the active db server whilst Master B is a read only swappable db server hence both are creating binary logs. During backup I run “FLUSH LOGS” in order to have a simpler point in time recovery procedure if that case arises. Problem: Flush logs is mean mean command [...]
