Hi, I am using mariabackup to backup a database. On day 1 a full backup with mariabackup --backup --user=Backup --password=my-password --target-dir=path-to-full and on day 2-7 a incremental backup with mariabackup --backup --user=Backup --password=my-password --target-dir=path-to-inc --incremental-basedir=path-to-full Then follows again a new backup for day 1 and so on. The database can be used while the backup is running. A web application for Apache Tomcat uses the database. This worked very well for a couple of weeks, the backup was finished within 20 minutes. But recently I noticed that the incremental backup took much longer than before. I checked the output of mariabackup and it was spammed several hours with lines like these [00] 2022-04-20 00:48:00 >> log scanned up to (1747989580536) [00] 2022-04-20 00:48:01 >> log scanned up to (1747989580536) [00] 2022-04-20 00:48:02 >> log scanned up to (1747989580536) 2022-04-20 0:48:03 0 [Note] InnoDB: Read redo log up to LSN=1747989580800 [00] 2022-04-20 00:48:03 >> log scanned up to (1747989580536) [00] 2022-04-20 00:48:04 >> log scanned up to (1747989580536) [00] 2022-04-20 00:48:05 >> log scanned up to (1747989580536) [00] 2022-04-20 00:48:06 >> log scanned up to (1747989580536) Yesterday the incremental backup took 7 hours so I wonder if there is something wrong.
