Hi

I'm running my servers with DNS resolve disabled, so the Mysql server ignores user entries in the form of user @ localhost. Also I have multiple Mysql instances running on different ports. So its required in my setup to use the parameters --host and --port to access the different servers.

Is this possible with your scripts?

Thanks in advance, Oliver

Hi, sorry for the late answer.

No, it is not currently possible to use these scripts to backup a multi instance MySQL server.

It would need a few modifications to take in account new options such as --host and --port. These option should be passed to the underlying innobackupex command (https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/2.3/innobackupex/innobackupex_option_reference.html).
