Project: Allow Binary/file snapshot creation for mysql using Percona Xtrabackup

[rgembalik]

Currently, MySQL snapshots create a sql dump file, which is ok for small databases. But in the case of large databases, raw snapshots might be preferable as those are faster to create and restore.

Percona has already a great tool for that, so it might be worth considering.
