xtrabackup: Transaction log of lsn (1294896651478) to (1294905601958) was copied.

I never receive a completed message. It always ends with the last line about transaction log. Is that normal?

[miguelangelnieto]

Yes, that is normal. xtrabackup binary only copies .ibd tablespace and log files, that’s all. If you want a full backup with myisam tables and .frm files you should use innobackupex instead.
