Hi,
Would just like to check if i can use the --no-lock option of xtrabackup and create a backup that i can use for my slave. would i still be able to grab the binlog file and position if i do this? and will the data be consistent? i would like to create a slave based on the master but i could not afford a downtime or even just a flush with read lock. hope someone can help. thanks in advanced.
Regards,
Nhadie
