Hi people.

I have been following this great software to backup innodb tables. My question is simple, can innobackupex work inside a batch, I mean, how can my know if the app finish positive or negative?

How u are managing this?

Any input will be appreciated, thanks.

Innobackupex will return a zero when it finishes successfully, so just check the exit code like you would normally in a script.
