Bug Description
Partitioned tables are not correctly handled by the --databases and --tables-file options of innobackupex, and by the --tables option of xtrabackup. We should fix those options so that partitions are actually backed up when a partitioned table is passed as an argument to those options.
We should also make sure that partitions created with DATA DIRECTORY/INDEX DIRECTORY are backed up and restored correctly.

Vadim, is this on your radar or should I reassign?

Assigned to "me" means I need to find someone to fix it.
Please re-assign :)

| summary: |
- Implement full support for backups of partitioned tables + Partial backups do not work with partitioned tables |
| description: | updated |
--tables-file and --tables options of xtrabackup make sense not only when backup taken, but also when analyze InnoDB data files with stats mode. This mode should also be checked and fixed.

It's a high priority bug, we should fix it in 1.6.

Hi Support Admin,
I would like to know if this bug has been fixed in Percona XtraBackup 2.0.5. Please advise.

Hi Stewart,
I am able to create a backup and prepare a partition table on Xtrabackup 2.0.7-552.rhel6, and I am encountering issue to restore the partition table. It only works for individual partition table but not the entire table.
Please advise.
Regards,
Virginia

Virginia,
With server versions up to 5.5 it is only possible to import partitions as independent tables, simply because there is no server support for importing partitions of existing partitioned tables.
Though with MySQL / Percona Server 5.6 it is possible via ALTER TABLE ... EXCHANGE PARTITION. I have created bug #1179388 to document this procedure it in the XtraBackup manual.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for the update and helped me to create bug #1179388. I will try it again on version 5.6.
