Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : R1Soft MySQL CDP Backup Add-On with MariaDB?

[Lancia]

Does anyone know if R1Soft's MySQL CDP add-on is compatible with MariaDB?

[Lancia]

Hmm, since I can't edit my post, I'll just leave this here for anyone with a similar question. I just spoke with R1Soft's support department, and the answer is "no".

Very interested in this... did they say why it wasn't compatible ? because of the Aria storage engine ?

[Lancia]

Unfortunately they didn't clarify why, as they were quick to get off the phone when they realized I was using their software through a reseller (my hosting company, who couldn't answer this question) instead of making plans to purchasing a license directly...

[eva2000]

hmmm.. going to ask MariaDB folks as well. Hope it does work as MariaDB is my fav and preferred MySQL server fork

[NexDog]

Any luck with this? I think we are just going to test it and try and get it working even though there's no "official" support.

[Lancia]

Unfortunately, no. I'm just using MariaDB (via eva2000's awesome version of Centmin) and the standard R1Soft CDP without the MySQL plugin.

[NexDog]

Did you try and get it working on R1Soft?

[Lancia]

No, I did not try it.

[NexDog]

Ah cool, good to know. We'll try it and I'll let you know if it works out well.

[Lancia]

That would be great! I look forward to hearing your results.

So any luck? Also, are you using CDP2 or CDP3?

[NexDog]

CDP 2.0 and yes, it works.

We have MariaDB running on a separate VM and back it up with R1Soft just fine.

Sweet, thanks! Might just have to look closer at MariaDB now.

Backups work, but have you tried a restore? The reason I ask is we are using Percona MySQL and r1soft 2 (I hope they upgrade sometime soon!). Backups work fine, but restores fail if we use the MySQL part of the interface - we need to restore the files through Browse.

So, I'm curious if it works better with your non-MySQL flavor of MySQL than mine... And I figured you'd want a heads up in case you *do* need to restore and weren't aware of the problem.
