mysql - how can I create incremental backups with xtrabackup automatically -
it says on manual if want create incremental backup can following command:
xtrabackup --backup --target-dir=/data/backups/inc1 \ --incremental-basedir=/data/backups/base --datadir=/var/lib/mysql/
where /data/backups/inc1
incremental directory. if want create cronjob (which don't think i'm one), have figure out way name directory every time want create new incremental backup, tedious.
is there way maje xtrabackup create directories using timestamps instead?
you can use built-in linux command date name directory want, example
xtrabackup --backup --target-dir=/data/backups/inc`date +%y%m%d` (rest options)
