It seems, if we take backup with --compact option and if we don't use --rebuild -indexes option during the apply log then while access the secondary-index data got corrupted. Even server crashed. So it makes sense that "--compact option should automatically trigger the --rebuild-indexes " root@nilnandan-Dell-XPS:~# innobackupex --compact --user=root --password=root /home/nilnandan/backup/ innobackupex --apply-log /home/nilnandan/backup/2014-07-01_15-13-41/ after that copy the backup data to datadir and started mysql. MySQL started successfully but when tries to access secondary index and the table status got below error. mysql> select * from nil_test where city = 'ahmedabad'; ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query mysql> mysql> show create table nil_test \G ERROR 2006 (HY000): MySQL server has gone away No connection.

It is also possible that this binary or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built, or misconfigured. 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.
