Date
April 26, 2022
Percona XtraBackup for MySQL Databases enables MySQL backups without blocking user queries. Percona XtraBackup is ideal for companies with large data sets and mission-critical applications that cannot tolerate long periods of downtime. Offered free as an open source solution, Percona XtraBackup drives down backup costs while providing unique features for MySQL backups.
Release Highlights¶
The log statements structure in Percona XtraBackup has been improved. Now, the error logs have a standard structure. The uniformity of the headers makes it easier to follow an operation’s progress or review the log to diagnose issues. The improved log structure is displayed in the backup, prepare, move-back/copy-back error logs.
Each log statement has the following attributes:
-
Timestamp - a timestamp for when the event occurred in a UTC format.
-
Severity - the severity level of a statement indicates the importance of an event.
-
ID - this identifier is currently not used but may be used in future versions.
-
Context - the name of the module that issued the log statement, such as XtraBackup, InnoDB, or Server.
-
Message - a description of the event generated by the module.
