Comment 2 for bug 1449834

Sergei,

Thanks for the explanation. When we take backups and stream remotely, compressing at the same time we do not have a way to determine binlog file and position from xtrabackup_binlog_info or xtrabackup_slave_info since they are part of the compressed backup.

For this particular use case, we use the STDERR output to get the binary log filename to automatically tie backups with binary log streaming with mysqlbinlog on 5.6 on https://github.com/dotmanila/pyxbackup/blob/master/pyxbackup

I don't think we need the file based info on xtrabackup_binlog_info and xtrabackup_slave_info but we need it to be included in the STDERR output.

I hope that is sufficient use case and also the change is very minor? :)
