1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | The latest check point (for incremental): '1319:813219999' >> log scanned up to (1319 813701532) Transaction log of lsn (1318 3034677302) to (1319 813701532) was copied. 090404 06:03:29 innobackupex: All tables unlocked 090404 06:03:29 innobackupex: Connection to database server closed innobackupex: Backup created in directory '/mnt/data/tmp' innobackupex: MySQL binlog position: filename 'db02-bin.001271', position 247627478 090404 06:07:58 innobackupex: innobackup completed OK! innobackupex: You must use -i (--ignore-zeros) option for extraction of the tar stream. |
which gives start point 1319:813219999 for further incremental backup. This point [...]
