Does the MariaDB database need to be stopped before backing up?

For complex topics that regular users would not be interested in. For power users and database administrators.

Does the MariaDB database need to be stopped before backing up?

Post by Scott »

At times in the documentation, and when talking to technical support, it has been stated BOTH WAYS that the DB should be stopped, and also that it doesn't matter and doesn't need to be stopped. Which is it?

Good Bye Softdent!!

No. But stop the service before restoring to a different machine.
