I'm confused about the meaning of the help text from ibbackup --help. Here's the text: "You should make backups of the .frm files... both BEFORE and AFTER ibbackup finishes its work, and also store the MySQL binlog segment which is generated between the moment you copy the .frm files to a backup and the moment ibbackup finishes its work... From the binlog segment you see if any of the .frm files changed between the moment you took a .frm files backup and the moment ibbackup finished its work."
So what exactly is the "binlog segment?" Is it some mysterious file or merely the text sections from the ibbackup output that refer to the lsn's? Here's some sample output: " . . . ibbackup: Found checkpoint at lsn 0 1418349381 ibbackup: Starting log scan from lsn 0 1418349056 . . . ibbackup: A copied database page was modified at 0 1418349381 ibbackup: Scanned log up to lsn 0 1418349381 ibbackup: Full backup completed!"
