Hello I am testing Percona's xtrabackup tool on a test server with only one (MariaDB) database inside named "database1" and i got the backup using: innobackupex /path/to/backupdir/ Code (markup): Then i go to the path to check the files inside and i notice that all files from /var/lib/mysql/ are there .... This is the way it should work? I thought that it will copy only the database and not all the rest of the files.... If this is the way that it works and i move to another server after setting up a newest mysql version and import all those files it will work? What about passwords as in the new mysql server i will use different passwords..... If should not work like this how can i set it to backup only my database and not the rest (if the rest is not needed it) ? Thank you
