<includeonly>=== Setting Up a MySQL Replication Server ===</includeonly>
It's a good idea to set up a replication server, for the sake of data safety. That server is also known as a ''slave'' server. (The primary database server is also known as the ''master'' server.)

A full description of the process is outside the scope of this manual, but here is some information to get you started:

:* The Percona backup system makes it relatively painless, and it's fast.<br>http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/2.1/howtos/setting_up_replication.html

:* For additional information on replication in general, see the MySQL manual:<br>http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/{{MySqlVersion}}/en/replication.html

{{Best|When you set up MySQL replication, it's a good idea to configure the Quartz scheduler, as well. That process gives you useful timestamps that let you monitor the health of the replication process.<br>''Learn more:'' [[Configuring the Quartz Scheduler]]}}
