We need to regularly create a clone of the production server in real time in the MySQL 4 database (only one scheme) and import it into one or more development databases. Our current process is the "mysqldump" database, copy it via ssh and restore it to the target machine using the mysql client utility.
Dumping and copying is relatively fast, but restoring a database schema (structure + content) takes several hours. Is there less time for cloning?
