Hi everyone,

I’m trying to use xtrabackup with --no-lock option since I want to backup straight from master without locking the tables. I only have innodb tables and no myisam, so --no-lock is ok for me to use, however I was under the impression Vadim mentioned that master binlog position would be printed after backup is done, even with --no-lock position selected. But when I try, I don’t get the binlog position. How would I go about getting it printed?

Thanks!

It is printed during the --prepare stage.
