How can I verify the up to the second backups are working?
Hi There,
I downloaded and installed 0.5.1 and set it up in daemon mode and it was snapshotting fine but I couldn't verify that the up to the second backups (via the binary/logs) were working.
Is there anyone that can explain to me how this feature works?

Hi Tim,
I apologise for the delay, I have been on vacation.
Basically it will create two subdirectories inside the backup directory containing the snapshots (called 0 and 1) and a symlink pointing to the last good backup. It will also create a subdirectory containing the binary log files which it writes to disk as soon as it gets the data.
Using 'ls -l' you should be able to see the creation/update dates of these files. You should also find a log file in there which will show what mydumper is doing.
I hope this helps.
Can you help with this problem?
