I am looking at the doc that is provided in the downloaded bundle when you download MEB. I don't know where to find online doc for MEB.

Thank you for the feedback. Which package do you use? I just downloaded 3.7 from eDelivery and found no such text in manual.html Anyway, this is surely documentation bug and I believe it should be fixed in 3.7. But in case if I am wrong, please, download 3.7 from same place where you got 3.6 and if this mistake still exists provide us package name and URL where you downloaded it.

I see the update in version 3.7 it is in section 3.3.3 now it says You can only use the --compress option for full backups, not for incremental backups.

Thank you for the feedback. Closed as "Can't repeat" since it is fixed.
Description: FROM THE DOC You can use the --compress option for full backups, or for incremental backups in combination with the --incremental option [mysql@mysql002] cat mysql_incr_backup.cnf [mysqlbackup] user=root incremental-backup-dir=/data/backup/incremental port=3306 protocol=tcp with-timestamp [mysql@mysql002] cat incr_backup_201201260717.log MySQL Enterprise Backup version 3.6.0 [2011/07/20] Copyright (c) 2003, 2011, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

Current Operation: backup Specified option: Incremental backup does not support --compress option Use --help option for usage description. So according to the doc a compressed backup is supported but when I run it it fails. How to repeat: Try and create a compressed incremental backup.
