Hello Falko, First, i want to thank you for your great how to called "MySQL Backup And Recovery With mysql-zrm On Debian Sarge". I am really interested in this so i like to give it a try. Before i start with it, i need to know if it is necessary to update the MySQL-version on my server and if so how can i do this? The MySQL part of my ISPConfig server has been setup according these commands: apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient12-dev And if i check the output of my phpinfo file it says: Client API version 4.0.24 So, I guess this is the version of the MySQL, i am running on my server. You mentioned in your how to "MySQL Backup And Recovery With mysql-zrm On Debian Sarge" that this backup system needs MySQL 4.1 at least. So my conclusion is: i have to update my MySQL software form 4.0.24 to 4.1. - How can i do this on Debian Sarge (Unofficial 64 bit) ? I found this in the forums: apt-get install mysql-server-4.1 mysql-client-4.1 libmysqlclient14-dev Is this all i need before i proceed? - Is updating no problem for websites with databases using the current version of MySQL? - Will an update effect my databases and will i be able to login again? Please let me know as i am not an expert at this point.
MySQL update from 4.0.24 to 4.1 I could not wait to start with Falko's how to so i did: apt-get install mysql-server-4.1 mysql-client-4.1 libmysqlclient14-dev And it worked perfectly!!! unbelievable that this is all (thanks to Debian).
I guess it also works with MySQL 4.0, but I didn't test, and the Zmanda web site says that they only tested with 4.1, 5.0, and 5.1 beta.
Works great Falko, i want to know that the MySQL backup system works great. I updated to MySQL 4.1 (for sure) and just tested it ! Thanks for your great how to.
Are those errors something that I should be worried about? ---------------------------------------------------------- Tue Nov 7 22:17:26 2006: INFO: backup-set=dailyrun Tue Nov 7 22:17:26 2006: INFO: backup-date=20061107221726 Tue Nov 7 22:17:26 2006: INFO: backup-date-epoch=1162934246 Tue Nov 7 22:17:26 2006: INFO: retention-policy=7D Tue Nov 7 22:17:26 2006: INFO: mysql-version=4.1.11-Debian_4sarge7-log Tue Nov 7 22:17:26 2006: INFO: backup-directory=/var/lib/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/20061107221726 Tue Nov 7 22:17:28 2006: ERROR: Copy from /var/lib/mysql/master.info to /var/lib/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/20061107221726 failed Tue Nov 7 22:17:28 2006: ERROR: Error backing up master.info Tue Nov 7 22:17:28 2006: ERROR: Copy from /var/lib/mysql/relay-log.info to /var/lib/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/20061107221726 faile Tue Nov 7 22:17:28 2006: ERROR: Error backing up relay-log.info Tue Nov 7 22:17:28 2006: INFO: Tue Nov 7 22:17:28 2006: INFO: backup-level=0 Tue Nov 7 22:17:38 2006: INFO: logical-databases=ispconfigdb mysql test web36_db1 web4_db1 web4_db2 web8_db1 Tue Nov 7 22:17:38 2006: INFO: read-locks-time=00:00:10 Tue Nov 7 22:17:38 2006: INFO: flush-logs-time=00:00:01 Tue Nov 7 22:17:38 2006: INFO: backup-time=00:00:12 Tue Nov 7 22:17:38 2006: INFO: backup-size=4.15 MB Tue Nov 7 22:17:38 2006: INFO: next-binlog=mysql-bin.000076 Tue Nov 7 22:17:38 2006: INFO: /var/lib/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/20061107221726/backup.sql=e7c66f2c218479765ca343be8ee8ea03 Tue Nov 7 22:17:38 2006: INFO: backup-status=Backup done but with errors Tue Nov 7 22:17:38 2006: INFO: Backup done but with errors ----------------------------------------------------------------- and --------------------------------------------------------------------- server201:~# mysql-zrm-scheduler --now --backup-set dailyrun --backup-level 0 Logging to /var/log/mysql-zrm/mysql-zrm-scheduler.log Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/mysql-zrm line 1305.

Is because of this: http://forums.zmanda.com/pipermail/mysql-zrm-bugs/2006-September/000013.html And this: was because of this: /etc/mysql-zrm/mysql-zrm.conf Code: replication=1 so I changed it to Code: replication=0
