Innobackupex is excellent- we use it- but it's not as trivial as a tar copy of the mysql directory (shut the database down first). For example, you may end up using the database username/password on the command line in your scripts (which you should probably avoid). Also, according to the man

Help? Well, the compile and install went fine, but the update tables script is having issue. I was running 7.0.5 before. Not sure what database version, but likely whatever was appropriate to 7.0.5. First time I ran script as su'ed user which caused this... -- Altering mysql tables

I run daily backups of my database and had finished my monthly full run for September, so I was technically covered. However I was not looking forward to restoring a 900+Gb mysql database from a text dump which on my system would take days, if not an entire week. The last time I had to

Spoke too soon, I see what's going on, I was running update script from new location (7.2.0) and it's referencing old location (7.0.5) and running the wrong mysql script. On 09/25/2015 08:34 AM, Stephen Thompson wrote: > > Help? > > Well, the compile and install went fine, but the update

Did you run a backup of the database? If not, I bet you were terrified with all the errors :) Same thing happened to me going to 7.0.5, and it sent me for a frenzy. I didn't run a backup of the database because of all the great responses from people. When is the 7.2.0 rpm expected? Not running

All, I typically patch bacula pretty frequently, but I saw the somewhat unusual notice on the latest release notes that warns it may not be ready for use in production. How stable is it? I don't really have the resources to test this out, but rather would have to go straight to production
