Hi,

tried meb 3.5 on a MySQL 5.5.7 test installation:

ttt:/opt/mysql/meb-3.5/bin# innobackup --user=ttt --password=tttpw --compress /etc/my.cnf
/raid/mysqlbackup

InnoDB Backup Utility v1.7.2
Copyright (c) 2003, 2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.

IMPORTANT: Please check that the backup run completes successfully.
**********At the end of a successful backup run innobackup
**********prints "innobackup completed OK!".

innobackup: Using mysql *Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.7-rc, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1
mysql: Unknown OS character set 'ISO-8859-15'.
mysql: Switching to the default character set 'latin1'.
innobackup: Using mysql server version 5.5.7-rc-log
innobackup: Using ibbackup version 3.5.1 MySQL Enterprise Backup 3.5.1

innobackup: Created backup directory /raid/mysqlbackup/2010-12-14_15-53-26
101214 15:53:26 *innobackup: Starting mysql with options: *--unbuffered --password=tttpw --user=ttt

innobackup: Error: mysql error: mysql: Unknown OS character set 'ISO-8859-15'.
mysql: Switching to the default character set 'latin1'.

Any ideas?

kind regards,

Bodo

Subject says: innobackup fails
Body says: only warnings no errors
Questions is: Why is there no succesful backup?

In the backup directory there are files:

backup-my.cnf
mysql-stderr
mysql: Unknown OS character set
mysql: Switching to the default character set 'latin1'
mysql-stdout:
innobackup hello 1
innobackup hello 1

When reading this:

I understand that 'innobackup' is a perl script to backup your database.

What happens if you try to backup using mysqldump ?

I did not read the complete page, and dont know defferences between
innobackup and mysqldump

The answer to the question is: Because of the error. DUH!

Hi,

tried on a virtual box opensuse 11.3: runs OK with different language settings.

running on a SLES10 64 after several hours of trying different settings of language vars.


Cheers,
