By default it creates a backup directory (named by the current date and time) in the given backup root directory. With the --no-timestamp option it does not create a time-stamped backup directory, but it puts the backup in the given directory (which must not exist). This command makes a complete backup of all MyISAM and InnoDB tables and indexes in all databases or in all of the databases specified with the --databases option. The created backup contains .frm, .MRG, .MYD, .MYI, .MAD, .MAI, .TRG, .TRN, .ARM, .ARZ, .CSM, CSV, .opt, .par, and InnoDB data and log files. The MY.CNF options file defines the location of the database. The --apply-log command prepares a backup for starting a MySQL server on the backup. This command recovers InnoDB data files as specified in BACKUP-DIR/backup-my.cnf using BACKUP-DIR/ib_logfile0, and creates new InnoDB log files as specified in BACKUP-DIR/backup-my.cnf. The BACKUP-DIR should be the path to a backup directory The --copy-back command copies data, index, and log files from the backup directory back to their original locations. The MY.CNF options file defines the original location of the database. The BACKUP-DIR is the path to a backup directory. The --move-back command is similar to --copy-back with the only difference that it moves files to their original locations rather than copies them. As this option removes backup files, it must be used with caution. It may be useful in cases when there is not enough free disk space to copy files. The --decompress command will decompress a backup made with the --compress option. The --parallel option will allow multiple files to be decompressed simultaneously. In order to decompress, the qpress utility MUST be installed and accessible within the path. This process will remove the original compressed files and leave the results in the same location. On success the exit code innobackupex is 0. A non-zero exit code indicates an error.
