What is BinaryStor?

Is it a protocol, a methodology or just a cool name?

BinaryStor initially started life as a concept for the storage and retrieval of binary data (pretty much anything). That idea has not gone away and the concept still stands.

More recently however I have been toying with the idea of a more focused service, the focus being a Database Backup Service.

The first step in this direction is a port of the MySQL Dump tool to a Java class - MySQLDump.java.

I envisage this class to be the workhorse for a web based backup service that is yet to be realised
