I had to set up a fresh CENTOS 6.7 server with Mysql 5.6 . Now innobackupex no longer creates the xtrabackup_binlog_info file when backing up a master for use in slave generation.
First pass is
innobackupex --rsync --tmpdir=/tmp --databases=$THEDATABASE --user=$MYUSR --password=$MYPW --use-memory=4096M --no-timestamp /backupxtra/work
Second pass is
innobackupex --tmpdir=/tmp --user=$MYUSR --password=$MYPW --apply-log --use-memory=4096M /backupxtra/work
It dutifully creates the database directory, along with backup=my.cnf, ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1, ibdata1, xtrabackup_checkpoints, xtrabackup_info and xtrabackup_logfile … but no xtrabackup_binlog_info
Most likely serious pilot error, but I don’t seem to be able to figure out what I did wrong.
Parental guidance highly appreciated.
