Archiving without tar but preparing

[prox2k]

In environments with huge databases it would be great if I can change archiving settings to not to tar the archived backup (my backup needs 6hrs to tar, extracting that in disaster case would not be funny :)), just move it to the archive folder.

Hi, Thanks for report. How do you think? Is it okay, if I will implement the archiving like this?

• Define archive command in config file; such as archive_cmd = /usr/bin/tar ....etc
• If defined, run specified full command.
• If it is not defined, then move(mv) old backups(both full and incrementals) to specified archive directory.

Hi,

I would suggest to Provide prepare the backups without tar. Maybe as you did suggest but with preparing optionally? archive_prepare=true or anything like that?

Merry Christmas! Best Sven

With this fix: https://github.com/ShahriyarR/MySQL-AutoXtraBackup/issues/223

All backups are preparing prior archiving with 1.5.1 version of autoxtrabackup.

So basically, you want to choose:

• prepare + archive or
• just archive

And also you want to have:

• passing archiving command possibility or
• just moving backups to archive directory

Implemented and merged to release_v1.5.2 Will be available on 1.5.2 version of autoxtrabackup. Thanks for report.
