Why so much? A simple daily timer that runs mysqlcheck + mysqldump + a backup of that would be enough for most people. Using a solid OS (Debian) and a filesystem such as BTRFS, ZFS or XFS will also save you from power loss related corruption. Why do people go SO overkill with everything?
Keep it simple, less services, less processes, less overhead, pick well written software and script the rest. Everything works out way better if you don't overcomplicate things.
at least weekly mysqlcheck + mysqlddump and some form of periodic off-machine storing of that is something I'll surely take to heart after this lil' fiasco ;-) sound advice, thank you!
