# MySQL: logical and physical backups

## When to use

Use this skill for logical and physical backups in MySQL. This skill
specifically handles logical and physical backups and nothing else in the
MySQL family.

## Procedure

Take logical dumps with `mysqldump`/`mysqlpump`, physical backups with Percona XtraBackup, and restore to a point in time using binlogs.

## Notes

This is the MySQL skill dedicated to logical and physical backups.
Sibling skills cover other MySQL capabilities; this one
is the right choice only when the task is about logical and physical backups.
