Hi,

I'm using mariadb-10.5.13 on fedora34 with run-mariabackup from 
https://github.com/omegazeng/run-mariabackup. Has anyone used this 
backup script or have any recommendations for ones that help to automate 
the process of using mariabackup for backups?

This script appears to create an infinite amount of incremental backups 
once the original full backup is created. I believe this makes it 
necessary to restore each of the incrementals on top of the base. If the 
backups are stored off-site, this creates magnitudes more data that's 
needed to restore, and increases the time to restore it. It also only 
appears possible to backup the entire system, not just individual databases.

Do you have any recommendations for other scripts that ease the process 
of making and restoring backups?

Thanks,
Dave
