Bugs fixed¶
-
Backups were missing *.isl files for general tablespace. Bug fixed PXB-494.
-
In 5.7 MySQL changed default checksum algorithm to
crc32, while xtrabackup was usinginnodb. This caused xtrabackup to perform extra checksum calculations which were not needed. Bug fixed PXB-495. -
For system tablespaces consisting of multiple files xtrabackup updated LSN only in first file. This caused MySQL versions lower than 5.7 to fail on startup. Bug fixed PXB-498.
-
xtrabackup --exportcan now export tables that have more than 31 index. Bug fixed PXB-58. -
Unrecognized character \x01; marked by <-- HEREmessage could be seen if backups were taken with the version check enabled. Bug fixed PXB-944.
