The manual states, > > "ibbackup --apply-log /home/pekka/.backup-my.cnf" the manual is already updated for ibbackup-2.0, while there is no --apply-log option at all in ibbackup-1.40 :(. In 1.40 you must use --restore. Please use ./ibbackup --help to look at the available options in 1.40. ibbackup-2.0.0 has now been declared stable on Linux, and on Linux we are only shipping 2.0.0 from now on. > Here's the output with --apply-log (some sensitive info stripped) > > ------------------------------------------------------- > mydb2:/data # ./ibbackup --apply-log ./my2.cnf > InnoDB Hot Backup version 1.40; Copyright 2003 Innobase Oy > License xxx is granted to > (--restore works in any computer regardless of the hostname) > Licensed for use in a computer whose hostname is 'hrdb1' > Expires 2005-6-1 (year-month-day) at 00:00 > See http://www.innodb.com for further information > Type ibbackup --license for detailed license terms, --help for help > > --- Error: the hostname of this computer is 'mydb2'. I guess ibbackup interprets that your first my.cnf file is called '--apply-log', it does not understand it is an option (of 2.0)! Then it refuses to run because the hostname of the computer does not match. ... > David.
