I am restoring an incremental backup with ZRM server on mysql database. I am having blob data in the tables. The incremental backup not getting restored and giving mysql error unknown command '\0'.

Tried changing the max_allowed_packet_size to 1 GB and also getting the issue. Checked the ZRM configuration for adding --hex-blob but did of no use.

Error after restoring the backup with --verbose:

  • Use --verbose to see what's going on.

  • Which mysql verion are you running on the client side?

  • Mysql version is 5.5.20. Currently we have changed to logical backup where we have got the option --extra-mysqldump-options="--hex-blob --skip-extended-insert" and configured in the mysq-zrm.conf file. Testing this option which may help us for future errors, but still did not get any solution for restoring the backups taken before.

We did not get any solution to restore the taken blob data backup causing Unknown command error. For avoiding this restore error we have added extra-mysqldump-options="--hex-blob --skip-extended-insert" in mysql-zrm.conf file.

Hope this helps somebody!!
