Anyone using this? I'm looking to install it to see how it works. I read in some of the documentation that it could be used to set up a replication server and would automatically roll forward using binlogs. I've done rollforward using binlogs manually before but I was wondering what kind of mechanism xtrabackup uses to do this. I'm currently needing to restore a replication server and since there's no real hurry on it. I thought I'd give xtrabackup a try. Sounds like it could be a useful tool but the documentation I've found so far is a bit lacking as far as details are concerned.
If anyone could give me some information, or point me to some good documentation, It would be much appreciated. Thanks, --Walt
