How to backup a MySQL Server with read_ony enabled without having SUPER privilege? (Doc ID 3016985.1)

Last updated on JUNE 11, 2024

Applies to:

MySQL Enterprise Backup - Version 8.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal


Since privilege SUPER is deprecated, if the backup user doesn't have such privilege, it will prevent mysqlbackup to succeed when performing a backup operation, showing some messages like:

WARNING: MySQL query 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mysql.backup_progress ... : 1290, The MySQL server is running with the --read-only option so it cannot execute this statement
WARNING: MySQL query 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mysql.backup_history ... : 1290, The MySQL server is running with the --read-only option so it cannot execute this statement

What privilege should be granted to the backup user to replace the SUPER privilege?
