Actually the tool supports VARBINARY, because VARBINARY and VARCHAR are the same types.
However some VARBINARY values may be printed incorrectly (I think they should be printed in HEX as well).
Once it is fixed it will be fully supported.
By now the workaround is to recover varbinary the same way as varchar.

Good news. Once I was forced to skip blob types when recovery innodb.
Please, don’t forgot about VARBINARY and other blob-like datatypes.

When you say “binary tree” (in the 2nd paragraph), do you mean “B-tree”?
