Answer 1

I have the same needs, and I use nfs to solve it.

mysql on server A, and i want to backup to server B.

---

on server A mount server B's directory /data/mysql_data:
[root@server_a ~]# mount -t nfs server_b:/data/mysql_data /mysql_data_server_b
and then jest point the output to mysql_data_server_b;

nfs environment is needed: yum install -y nfs-utils
