This may be a good time to migrate one of rosemary/thyme to Debian. > Asher told me that the dump is compressed in > some way, but I could not decompress it. While I tried to figure out how to > decompress the file, I accidentally overwritten the file at Thursday. Failures happen. Looking aroound, it isn't obvious the way they get compressed. Given you could not decompress it initially, it probably used xbstream (the other common compression format with xtrabackup seems to be using a gzipped tar). I would have expected Asher to provide you a full page documenting how to restore the backups, though. "How to restore a backup" is a critical piece which can't be left undocumented (or untested). Thanks for the update, DaB. _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l@lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette
