xtrabackup-0.4, going beta, progress meter

We added some new features to our backup tool, namely:

• • Now we can handle log file taken during backup with size exceeding 4GB, it may happen if backup takes too long and you have a lot of updates on InnoDB tables

• • Progress meter during recovery step, now you can see what percentage of log file was handled

Also we did extensive testing and fixed bugs, so now we consider current state as feature complete and with beta-release stability.

You can download current binaries RPM for RHEL4 and RHEL5 (compatible with CentOS also) and DEB for Debian/Ubuntu there

By the same link you can find general .tar.gz with binaries which can be run on any modern Linux distribution.
By the same link you can download source code if you do not want to deal with bazaar and Launchpad.
