I have one suggestion (that does not answer your question, sorry).

Do binary backup (mysqldump) for disaster recovery (a must), but also
do a text backup (SELECT * INTO OUTFILE) of EACH table (of course, you
must do this with a script).

The second method (each table saved separately) will make it easier to
correct human mistakes (which are more common than mechanical errors)
which affects only a table or two.

If you'll save the text backups, you'll be able to compare tables
from different times.
