Any major clients of the two.
You can add you own points too.
Perhaps someone can comment on current MySQL backups procedures. I believe that MySQL used to (still does?) require shutdown to be backed up. I don't know whether this was true for all engines or whether it might have been fixed. Having to shutdown a database to make a backup is a non-starter for anything that other than a toy (or read-only) databases.
