Hi,

When i try to take backup on remote host using xtrabackup-1.4 or 1.6 then after copying all db files i get xtrabackup\_binary: No such file or directory and backup fails. If take backup on same server then it works fine.

/usr/local/xtrabackup-1.4/bin/innobackupex-1.5.1 --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/my.cnf /backup/db/daily/2011-04-20\_18-12-41 --databases=db1 --no-timestamp --slave-info --user=mysqlbackup --password=\*\*\*\*\*\*\* --remote-host=192.168.0.1

Above command fails with following error.

Cannot open file /backup/db/daily/2011-04-20\_15-32-35/xtrabackup\_binary: No such file or directory.

Can any one please help me to resolve this issue?

Thanks  
Abhishek

I am pretty sure that’s a known bug, maybe even fixed in Percona XtraBackup 1.6. Please check the launchpad bug tracker.
