Quick questions about MySQL Master-Slave-Slave set-ups:
I currently have a Master-Slave set up right now and I would like to add another slave. Would it be possible to clone the server running the slave, and then spin up a new server with the image from the slave, and have it pick up right where it left off? So whatever the binlog was at the time of the copy it would just run until it catches up with the master?
Ideally - I'm trying to start another slave the connects to the master without shutting down the Master for a backup. Any advice or guidance would be great. Thanks!
