Hi, I want to restore an incremental backup but innobackupex appears to do nothing my backup folder structure is data/ |-- 2015-09-14-01-30-01/ | |-- backup-2015-09-14-01-30-01.xbstream.gz | `-- xtrabackup_checkpoints |-- 2015-09-15-01-30-01/ | |-- backup-2015-09-15-01-30-01.xbstream.gz | `– xtrabackup\_checkpoints |-- 2015-09-16-01-30-01/ | |-- backup-2015-09-16-01-30-01.xbstream.gz | `-- xtrabackup_checkpoints `– 2015-09-17-01-30-01/ |-- backup-2015-09-17-01-30-01.xbstream.gz `-- xtrabackup\_checkpoints I have a script to prepare the backup it does : steps : 1 / zcat data/2015-09-14-01-30-01/backup-2015-09-14-01-30-01.xbstream.gz | $xbstream -x -C prepared\_backup 2 / innobackupex --apply-log --redo-only --use-memory=10G prepared\_backup etc… At step2 it seems that nothing happens ! Example of what I have ```auto XXXX:XXXXXX # ps aux | grep innobackupex root 13539 0.0 0.0 79360 20212 pts/2 S+ 11:29 0:00 perl /usr/local/xtrabackup/bin/innobackupex --apply-log --use-memory=10G prepared_backup root 14365 0.0 0.0 5708 820 pts/1 S+ 13:55 0:00 grep innobackupex ``` ```auto XXXX:XXXXXX # strace -p 13539 -s 1024 Process 13539 attached - interrupt to quit futex(0x1549650, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL ``` The database to restore is about 210G xtraback version is 2.2 (from sources) OS Suse Enterprise 11 SP3 Someone have any idea to help me, Thanks! ---
