Bug Description
After trying xtrabackup_
backup_type = full-backuped
from_lsn = 0:0
to_lsn = 129:3685934508
However this did not work when I tried to use the same package's xtrabackup to do an incremental backup:
xtrabackup: error: failed to read metadata from /var/backups/
I have downgraded to xtrabackup_
backup_type = full-backuped
from_lsn = 0
to_lsn = 557824104081
xtrabackup then works properly.
So this seems to be a regression in the 1.3 beta. Did INNODB_

This bug appears to still be present in the latest stable 1.4 release, as well as the latest release candidate, 1.5 (testing with xtrabackup- 1.5-9.rhel5. x86_64. rpm).
I installed the older 1.2 release at which incremental backups work as documented, however I think run into errors restoring them, where it reports: l/xtrabackup_ logfile. will try to find. l/xtrabackup_ logfile. xtrabackup: Error: xtrabackup_ init_temp_ log() failed.

This is reported in spite of the fact that the file does indeed exist at the path specified. In short, I have found incrementals broken in one way or another in 1.2, 1.4, and 1.5.
Is there a plan to get Incremental Backups working before the next release? Do you require any additional debug detail to get this working?
