I’m unable to backup my database with XtraBackup 1.5. The previous versions of XtraBackup complain about the Server version, so I’ve gone to 1.5. The invocation is this:
root@rs02:/logs/backup# innobackupex-1.5.1 --user=root --password=xxxxxxxxx /logs/backup
which returns this:
Version string ‘’ contains invalid data; ignoring: ‘’ at /usr/bin/innobackupex-1.5.1 line 1719.

I’ve searched for any bad files as per the above recommended doc page, and looked for errors of numerous sorts. The backup directory is chmod 777. Any help would be much appreciated.
