Description:
MySQL Enterprise Backup uses mysql.backup_{history,progress}. It would be helpfull if mysqldump would also support this.

How to repeat:
Backup a database with mysqldump and query on the backup_history table.

Suggested fix:
Add support for backup_history

Hello Daniël,

Thank you for the feature request!
Indeed, good to have mysqldump logging such details so that it can be used by the MySQL Enterprise Monitor product and/or other tools to easily monitor backup operations.

Workaround - Imho, one can manually track these details externally(customized shell script +mysqldump to store in relational format or log into text files) which may or may not be compatible for monitoring tools.

Thanks,
Umesh
