TokuDB FAQ - Hot Backup Outdated

[Jervin R]

The hot backup section of the FAQ is a bit outdated.

https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-tokudb/faq.html#backup

The hot backup library is now open source, perhaps distinction should be provided for older versions. Also, on newer versions, simply executing `set tokudb_backup_dir=/path/to/backup` immediately starts a backup!

This is outdated too:
https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.6/tokudb/toku_backup.html

To run Percona TokuBackup, the backup destination directory must exist, be writable and empty. Once this directory is created, the backup can be run using the following command:

mysql> backup to '/path_to_empty_directory';

But if you try to run this on Percona Server 5.6.28-76.1, you get this error:
mysql> backup to '/backups/test';
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'backup to '/backups/test'' at line 1

Fixed here: https://github.com/percona/percona-server/pull/361 and https://github.com/percona/percona-server/pull/362

Old FAQ page will redirect to updated PS-TokuDB docs

Percona now uses JIRA for bug reports so this bug report is migrated to: https://jira.percona.com/browse/PS-1691
