Hi folks, Does anyone here use page compression ( https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/compression/ ) in production? (Or know folks who do?) What prompted my question was seeing that XtraBackup is not supported when using page compression. Given the popularity of the XtraBackup, I'm left wondering if there's some other backup strategy people use (especially since it's also used to sync and provision slaves), or if page compression is simply not used by folks who have master/slave setups, or perhaps don't require backups? Searching has not been helpful in my finding the answer, other than a pull request ( https://github.com/percona/percona-xtrabackup/pull/200 ) by Jan Lindstrom from last year. Hoping you can help, best regards, Tim
