Chose Percona XtraBackup
I've used MySQLdump which is okay for smaller databases, but XtraBackup is ideal for small or large databases. It can restore the whole database or a single table.

Comparison of Data Center Backup features of Percona XtraBackup
The only feature that could use some improvement is partial backup restores. For example, I have a multi-tenant database at the schema level running on a single Percona Server instance. As a tenant grows too large for the share instance or becomes a noisy neighbour we need to move a the tenants schema to its own instance with minimal downtime, meaning that we would run the new instance as a replica with replication filters until failover. In terms of doing a consistent backup, there may be challenges and it is currently possible with XtraBackup, but it would be great if the process was simplified and ensured to be consistent.
