I have been learning about amanda-scripts [1] to run innobackupex [2] to
backup my MySQL databases. After reading an googling some time I still have
two questions I hope someone here can answer:
1 - In what stage shall I run the script to dump the DB using innobackupex?
The documentation is not really clear what each stage is (I can make
educated guesses) and would like the orientation of experts. I believe
the DB dump must be done at pre-host-estimate or pre-dle-estimate.
2 - I there a way for the script to know if amanda is doing a full backup or
a incremental backup? I would like to run innobackupex accordingly.
That is tell innobackupex to do a full dump when amanda is doing a full
backup and to do a incremental dump when amanda is doing a incremental
backup.
