Description:
Hey there,

I tried to create a backup using MEB 4.0.3 with the mysql-5.7.11-winx64 version.

Syntax is similar to this, and it worked when I was using mysql 5.7.17.

mysqlbackup -u root -p <password> --backup-image=DBname.mbi --backup-dir=%temp% backup-to-image

Is it intended to work like this? 
Here's the error message:

mysqlbackup: INFO: Starting with following command line ...
 mysqlbackup.exe -u root -pxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --with-timestamp
        --backup-image=DBname.mbi
        --backup-dir=C:\Temp\ backup-to-image

 mysqlbackup: INFO:
 mysqlbackup: INFO: MySQL server version is '5.7.11-log'
 mysqlbackup: INFO: MySQL server compile os version is 'Win64'
 mysqlbackup: INFO: Got some server configuration information from running server.

IMPORTANT: Please check that mysqlbackup run completes successfully.
           At the end of a successful 'backup-to-image' run mysqlbackup
           prints "mysqlbackup completed OK!".

170228 15:46:48 mysqlbackup: INFO: MEB logfile created at C:\temp\MEB_2017-02-28.15-46-48_imag
e_backup.log

 mysqlbackup: INFO: Encryption password "encrypt-password" not specified.
 mysqlbackup: ERROR: Invalid options, MEB would not be able backup encrypted tables.

mysqlbackup failed with errors!

I already tried using a lower version of MEB, 3.12.3 for example but it turned out that it is not compatible with this mysql version.

How to repeat:
See Description
 

Suggested fix:
The same command worked under mysql version 5.7.17
For the time being no way to create a backup with mysqlbackup.exe on mysql version 5.7.11

Hello Steven Stritz,

Thank you for the report.
Could you please confirm whether 5.7.11 has keyring plungin enabled? Imho, MEB complains when it encounter plugin enabled and you are not using the option --encrypt-password while backing up using MEB - https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-enterprise-backup/4.0/en/backup-encrypted-innodb-options.h...

mysqlbackup: INFO: Encryption password "encrypt-password" not specified. 
mysqlbackup: ERROR: Invalid options, MEB would not be able backup encrypted 
tables.  

Thanks,
Umesh

-- Looks like in 5.7.11, keyring plugin active by default(unusuable unless path etc provided)

Disabled the keyring-file plugin so the problem solved itself. It is now working with the version 5.7.11. Thank you very much!
