Incomplete backup of MySQL Enterprise Backup

MySQL Enterprise Backup

mysqlbackup supports not only full backups, but also partial backups.
For example, you only want to back up a certain table or a few tables.


mysqlbackup --host=localhost --user=root --password --protocol=TCP --port=3306 \
---backup-dir=$MEB_TEMP_BACKUP_DIR --backup-image=$MEB_BACKUPS_DIR/my.mbi
--include- tables='^test\.(cust$|sales$)' \
backup-to-image

means that only the cust table and sales table under Database[test] are backed up.
