Hello All,

I’ve been playing with mysqlbinlog today. I’m Looking at performing backups of the binary logs.  

The MariaDB mysqlbinlog lags behind the MySQL version in the sense it’s missing a few features. Namely the ability to ‘tail’ a live binary log…

mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server --host=host_name --raw

  --stop-never binlog.000999

I haven’t fully tested this but running the MySQL version against MariaDB doesn’t appear viable. I’m probably going to fall back to a FLUSH LOGS / file copy solution for the moment.

What would be the chances of back-porting these features into the MariaDB version?

Cheers,

Rhys
