> Hello, > > Does anyone know if InnoDB Hot Backup supports the new tablespace > format being introduced in the latest versions of InnoDB? ibbackup-2.0 is ready to be rolled out. It supports backing up also the .ibd files. You can request an eval copy for Linux. > I'm quite tempted to switch from MyISAM to InnoDB using the new > tablespace format, but I'm put off by how inflexible InnoDB files seem > to be. I like being able to move .MYD and .MYI files around and have > any mysqld use them; InnoDB seems a bit picky about that. > Does the new one-file-per-tablespace format change any of that? Is > there any actual advantage to using it? Currently, .ibd files CANNOT be moved between different installations. Please read carefully http://www.innodb.com/ibman.php#Multiple.tablespaces But it is rather easy to add later a feature which would allow moving 'clean' .ibd files. That only requires resetting all lsn's and trx id's in the .ibd file. > Thanks for any replies, > -- > Chris Best regards, Heikki Tuuri Innobase Oy http://www.innodb.com Foreign keys, transactions, and row level locking for MySQL InnoDB Hot Backup - a hot backup tool for InnoDB which also backs up MyISAM tables Order MySQL technical support from https://order.mysql.com/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
