Hi.
So apparently xtrabackup with ‘–stream=xbstream’ discards “DATA DIRECTORY” clause from “tables created externally” (as it is called in mysql docs).
I didn’t find any mention of this behaviour in xtrabackup documentation, are there any?
What are the mechanics causing this?
I don’t think there are ways to change this clause apart from full ALTER or maybe binary editor.

Hi @korjjj ,
Can you please share in which PXB version you are seeing this issue?

Hi.
I stumbled on it twice in a row with quite large dataset in a recent task,
and also I had similar problems before, so I switched to non-streaming backup.
But the thing is I can not reproduce it in a test setup now.
Used xtrabackup-24 (I think) for dump/prepare/copy-back.
There were different versions of mysql involved (5.6->5.7->8.0).
I’ll post an update if I’ll repeat this.
