Bug Description
I created a backup using :
innobackupex-1.5.1 --stream=xbstream --parallel=4 --compress --compress-
I attempted to restoring using:
xbstream -x < /home/walker/
The xbstream operation completed with a "bad magic" error.
The output of du -hs in the restore directory was the same as the xbstream file.
I attempted to run --apply-log to process the directory, but it couldn't read the files.
I noticed most of them ended in .qp.
I don't know if I'm supposed to decompress them myself, or if that was supposed to be handled by streamxb and failed, or if xtrabackup --apply-log is supposed to handle that step.

To post a comment you must log in.
Yes, compressed archives must be decompressed before --apply-log. We don't have that documented explicitly, so changing this bug into a documentation bug.
As to the "bad magic" error, it's most likely bug #983720. The fix will be released in XtraBackup 2.0.1
