1. "mariabackup --innobackupex" now prints a new warning:
'--innobackupex' is deprecated and will be removed in a future release
2. "mariabackup --innobackupex" does not print this wrong warning any more:
--innobackupex: Deprecated program name.
It will be removed in a future release,
use '/path/to/mariadb-backup' instead
During the prepare phase of restoring backups, "mariabackup" does
not seem to allow (or recognize) the option "innodb_force_recovery"
for the embedded InnoDB server instance that it starts.
If page corruption observed during page recovery, the prepare step
fails. While this is indeed the correct behavior ideally, allowing
this option to be set in case of emergencies might be useful when
the current backup is the only copy available. Some error messages
during "--prepare" suggest to set "innodb_force_recovery" to 1:
[ERROR] InnoDB: Set innodb_force_recovery=1 to ignore corruption.
For backwards compatibility, "mariabackup --innobackupex --apply-log"
should also have this option.
