I've installed, or at least tried to install, XtraBackup 1.6.3 on
CentOS 5.4 using the yum repository following the instructions here:

http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/installation/yum_repo.html

It seemed to work fine.

yum list | grep percona

returns:

However, trying to run either xtrabackup or innobackupex as per the
instructions found here:

http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/manual.html

Returns "command not found"

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Nando

"yum list" returns every *available* package (including the ones you
have installed). "rpm -qi xtrabackup" will do a better job of telling
you if xtrabackup is installed.

Did you already run "sudo yum install xtrabackup" ? You can also run
"rpm -ql xtrabackup" to see where the files got installed.

Thanks Bill. Not knowing the command line very well, I followed the
instructions on installation to the letter on the Percona website.
Unfortunately, they seem to be incomplete. I had a suspicion that it
may not be installed correctly, and indeed "rpm -qi xtrabackup"
indicated it wasn't.

FYI: "yum list installed" and "yum list available" deliver the obvious
results as well. Much easier to remember then their rpm-q* counter
parts :)
