\\ *Bakbone Point-In-Time MySQL Restore*
\\
Bakbone does advertise support for point-in-time recovery using [MySQL binary logs|TP:Binary Log Backups].  The feature is more form than function as the Bakbone restore functionality consists of copying the binary log to the MySQL server.  From there the administrator must manually use the [mysqlbinlog|http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqlbinlog.html] utility to actually perform the restore.
