Is it possible to backup stored routines and functions with Innobackupex?

Question

I am running a few restore tests on my Dev and I've noticed that the stored routines are not being restored with the innobackupx. Is that something achievable ? Am I doing something wrong ?

I am only using innodb tables so it will be good to restore the db using only innobackupx.

Thank you.

Answer 1

In order to take the backup of MySQL Server Objects i.e routines / triggers / events you can do like below

mysqldump -h$MySQLHost -u$YourUser -p$YourPassword --no-data --no-create-info --routines --triggers --events $Database > MySQLStoredProcedures.sql

The above will backup only the database objects , no data , no create table etc.

Stored procedures are stored in database mysql. Innobackupex copies it by default. Make sure database mysql is restored with other databases.
