To make sure the PC Review backups are 100% accurate, weekly backups will be manually taken late on every Sunday night. The site will be down for approximately 5-10 minutes when this takes place to ensure that the database does not change during the backup.
Although this is not idea, it is the only way to make reliable backups for such a large database without an extra server, $1500+ live innodb software or risking corrupt backups. I am looking into ways to backup data daily on a live basis, whilst still ensuring complete datasets and no downtime.
