Excellent :-) I've updated the post to make this addition and removed the stuff about disabling suspend. I've got a feeling I saw this years ago but did not realise it's significance. Thanks for pointing it out. Yes, that works! Excellent :-)

Been doing this since about F13 and it solved all suspend problems.

I originally did this but we now use a rsync based backup solution and synchronising the whole filestructure to a remote backup server is easier and faster for us. Also; the innobackupexec command operates on all the databases by default; it would need additional scripting to gzip each individual database in the backup. However, it is fairly easy to do a gzip of the whole backup; Insert something like this above the line with the '# Cleanup' comment <code>echo "Creating gzipped archive of the backups" /bin/tar czf $THISBACKUP.tar.gz $THISBACKUP echo "Cleaning the backup dir" rm -rf $THISBACKUP</code> You will also need to modify the cleanup command: <code>cd /tmp ; find $BACKUPDIR -maxdepth 1 -type f -mmin +$AGE -exec echo "removing: "{} \; -exec rm -f {} \;</code> I have not tested the above, so test it if you do this.. I might add it as an option to version#2 when I do that. Brian; sorry for slooooow reply.

However, it is fairly easy to do a gzip of the whole backup;

Insert something like this above the line with the ‘# Cleanup’ comment
echo "Creating gzipped archive of the backups"
/bin/tar czf $THISBACKUP.tar.gz $THISBACKUP
echo "Cleaning the backup dir"
rm -rf $THISBACKUP

You will also need to modify the cleanup command:
cd /tmp ; find $BACKUPDIR -maxdepth 1 -type f -mmin +$AGE -exec echo "removing: "{} \; -exec rm -f {} \;

I have not tested the above, so test it if you do this.. I might add it as an option to version#2 when I do that.
