Dear all, I have server A and B . server A I install “Percona-Server 55-5.5.27”. I want to full backup database on server B (/var/lib/mysql) with command this below /usr/bin/innobackupex --parallel=4 --host=${IP\_SERVER\_B} --user=dbuser–password=dbpassword–no-timestamp /home/percona/innobackup/2012-10-15 After full backup is finish, I check dir “/home/percona/innobackup/2012-10-15” is not backup dir /var/lib/mysql on server B. But it’s backup /var/lib/mysql on server A. why this could happen, but I’ve replaced --host=${IP\_SERVER\_B} by ip address server B Thank You Moses ---

Hi Moses, What you are trying to do, won’t work with --host option. For your purpose, I guess you should use streaming backup. As per your scenario, if you want to take backup of B server and transfer it to A server, you should run backup command on B server with --stream/xbstream option to transfer it to A server. (rather then running backup on A server) You can get more information here.

Hi niljoshi, IP SERVER A : 192.168.0.121 IP SERVER B : 192.168.0.140 I Run command on server B [root@alfamart ~]# innobackupex --host=localhost --user=myuser --password=mypassword --stream=tar ./ | ssh -q [root@192.168.0.121](mailto:root@192.168.0.121) “cat - \> /tmp/test/backup.tar” My Questios is : 1. Whether during the backup process will use temporary storage on server B? 2. If i check ,the command above is full backup. if the above command already include function “apply-log”? Thank You ---
