I’ve installed xtrabackup through Yast on an Opensuse 12.1 system.

When running innobackupex, I get the error

sh: xtrabackup\_55: command not foundinnobackupex: fatal error: no ‘mysqld’ group in MySQL options

I can only find /usr/bin/xtrabackup\_51 and /usr/bin/xtrabackup\_innodb55 on my system, but not xtrabackup\_55.

When defining a symbolic link from xtrabackup\_51 to xtrabackup\_55, I don’t get this error anymore. However I’m not sure if the backup is consistent and can be restored.

How should I solve this problem?

Ivan

xtrabackup\_55 should be part of the Yast package, I’m not thoroughly familiar with Yast though. xtrabackup\_51 is different from xtrabackup\_55, the former is for MySQL server not using InnoDB plugin, while the latter is for MySQL 5.5/Percona Server 5.5. xtrabackup\_innodb55 on the other hand is not familiar, maybe check with the package maintainer?
