Current status
I have a MySQL (MariaDB 10.2) server with various databases, to which a lot of people have access to. Which means that users can create MyISAM or InnoDB tables/databases.
Problem
Mentioned MySQL server doesn't have any serious fallback/backup, except daily backups. There used to be simple master-slave replication in use, but after numerious sync problems, it had to be stopped. I guess that most of problems came from mix of MyISAM and InnoDB tables, but I couldn't pinpoint the problem with 100% accuracy.
Question
What is the best way to set-up some kind of replication/fallback, that would work with minimum overwatch?
One of the problems is also that size of databases is around 100GB and downtime is undesirable. If I want to set-up a replication, is there any option to do it without serious downtime?
Cloud solutions aren't an option.
Best Answer
In the long run, you really need to choose between HA and MyISAM.
