Question - Apply Logs - Tar backup

Asked by saurya1979

Hello,

I am not sure if I have understood correctly. I am using following command to make backup but I am confused on how to apply logs to backup data so as to bring it to consistent state.

innobackupex --stream=tar ./ | gzip - > backup.tar.gz

It will prepare tar.gz file that has the backedup data. How can I use it to restore?

Thanks,
Saurya

First untar the archive:

tar -xzfi backup.tar.gz

Then apply the logs:

innobackupex-1.5.1 --apply-log /path/to/your/uncompressed/backup

You should (bug 723097 notwithstanding) then have a set of files that you can point mysql's datadir at.

Can you help with this problem?
