You can use mysqldump or several other ways to get the database contents. Of course a cluster offers no data loss -- but I kept having problems with it (either my own fault or amazon's) Hi Anthony,

Of course a cluster offers no data loss — but I kept having problems with it (either my own fault or amazon’s)

Are you storing it is S3? If so, how? I am looking at EC2 eagerly for a few projects, but (in my limited research) haven't seen a good (read: simple) answer to that problem. Thanks!
