Perform XtraBackup and zip to a file

Answer:

In the previous article, we have discussed how to perform a hot backup on InnoDB with XtraBackup , but is it possible to zip the result directly to a file?

Sure, you can use the wrapper script came with the XtraBackup - innobackupex

For example, to backup and zip the result files to zipped files, you can use:

# innobackupex --stream=tar ./ | gzip - > backup.tar.gz
