Error while using xtrabackup

[Ran Margaliot]

Hello,

while running 'apply-log' im getting the following error:

InnoDB: Starting an apply batch of log records to the database...

InnoDB: Progress in percents: 120822  6:48:51  InnoDB: Assertion failure in thread 139782855878400 in file ibuf/ibuf0ibuf.c line 1323

innobackupex: Error: 

innobackupex: ibbackup failed at /usr/bin/innobackupex line 336.

im using the following command to prepare the backup:

innobackupex --apply-log --use-memory=26G --ibbackup=xtrabackup /var/lib/mysql

any ideas?

Hi Ran,

You are using the 5.1-based binary (xtrabackup) on a 5.5 dataset.

Normally innobackupex should read the binary (xtrabackup_55 in this
case) from the xtrabackup_binary file located in the backup directory.
Why do you need to override that with the --ibbackup option?

Best regards,
Alexey.

Hi Alexey,

Sorry for the late reply...

you are right! removed the   --ibbackup and now it works like a charm :)

thanks.
