Everyone - sorry for the repost.
I have a simple 15 GB DB and I when I run innobackupex it does not backup all the data in the ‘datadir’/mysql and 'datadir"/performance_schema directories.
After multiple runs it seems to not be consistent - sometimes it backups some of the data in those directories and sometimes it does not.
The output from the innobackupex says it did indeed back the data up - but this is clearly not the case. I am on ubuntu 11.10 VM running on KVM.
I have included two files: my.cnf and output from innobackex output where you can see that it says it backup the data in those files.
I am at wits end - any help would be appreciated.
Below is the “ls -l” in the db_backup directory showing the directories are empty:
