Description:
Currently if user wants to automate incremental backup they need to write custom script which parses mysqlbackup output and saves LSN # somewhere.

Please save LSN # in such a way so it will be possible to do this thing without user intervention.

How to repeat:
Feature request.

Workaround:

parse mysqlbackup output somehow like 

./mysqlbackup [options] backup.cnf BACKUPDIR 2>&1 | grep "ibbackup: Was able to parse the log up to lsn" | grep -Eo "[0-9]+"
