[rt-users] MySQL backups of RT 4.4.1 truncated

[Cena, Stephen (ext. 300)]

I just ran a test with the attachments table "ignored", and the backup worked perfectly. As a "sanity check", I also ran mysqlcheck on the schema & no errors were found. Should I split my backup job into two pieces, or is there a better way to get a backup all in one shot?

I'm currently running RT 4.4.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with MySQL 5.6 on Windows Server 2012. Recently, we enabled full-text indexing in native MySQL & everything is great. After doing some work on the server over the weekend, I discovered that the .sql files being generated for the backup are being "truncated" after the attachments table (~18-19GB).  After reviewing your documentation (https://docs.bestpractical.com/rt/4.4.1/backups.html) I realized my mysqldump command was incorrect. I'm working in a lab environment now to see how I can optimize/change my script to more closely match yours. The only thought I have right now is to exclude the data from the AttachmentsIndex as that would get rebuilt on restoration anyways. Is there any other reason that the backup would just "stop" after the attachment table? I apologize if this is beyond the scope of the forums thread.



Thank you in advance!
