backup fails with history on server enabled

Downgrading to xtrabackup 2.2.12 solved the issue

yum downgrade percona-xtrabackup-2.2.12-1.el6

xtrabackup -v
xtrabackup version 2.2.12 based on MySQL server 5.6.24 Linux (x86_64) (revision id: 8726828)

Could be related to history on server feature. Could you please check same command without "--history='Full_'`date +%Y%m%d`"?

Without --history it worked fine.

These are the privileges granted to backuper user:
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, RELOAD, PROCESS, LOCK TABLES, REPLICATION CLIENT ON *.* TO 'backuper'@'localhost'
GRANT CREATE ON `PERCONA_SCHEMA`.* TO 'backuper'@'localhost'

obviously this has to do with the fact that innobackupex was just completely rewritten in a different language, looks like it went from perl to C ? That's a bold move and it seems like some things like this were totally missed, I can't find the xtrabackup_history code in the new stuff

Output for:

# innobackupex --parallel=10 --no-timestamp /backups/full_backup

Output for:

# innobackupex --parallel=10 --history="test" --no-timestamp /backups/full_backup

I have confirmed this using xtrabackup 2.3.2 with PS 5.6.27:

See attached outputs for two runs:

1- innobackupex --parallel=10 --no-timestamp /backups/full_backup
2- innobackupex --parallel=10 --history="test" --no-timestamp /backups/full_backup

I got the same stack trace from #2:

This could be because you hit a bug or data is corrupted.
This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed,
something is definitely wrong and this may fail.

Setting to confirmed.

See comment #7

I am able to reproduce the crash with binary log disabled. Please confirm that you have binary log disabled.

Серге́й, I can confirm it is exactly my situation, no binary log enabled.

Right, no binary log enabled.
