With Mysql it can be challenging to backup large databases without read-locking the tables.
One way of getting around the problem is to setup mysql replication.
What is the correct order of the steps necessary?
a) verify slave status & error log
b) issue change master command
c) create consistent backup on master server & write down binlog position
d) start slave
e) restore backup on slave-server
