After sucessfull configuration and installation
we want to take the full backup using ZRM Tools:
cd /etc/mysql-zrm
mkdir fullbackup
cp mysql-zrm.conf fullbackup/
cd fullbackup
ls -lh
-rwxr-x--- 1 mysql mysq 9.0k  Feb  4  2010 mysql-zrm.conf
change the configuration file on mysql-zrm.conf
The changes are as follows:
backup-level=0
backup-mode=logical
user="user1"
password="user1"
destination=/var/lib/mysql-zrm

steps for taking the backup (full backup)
mysql-zrm-scheduler --now --backup-set fullbackup

for more options for mysq-zrm are as follows:
mysql-zrm --action --help
USAGE:
--action <backup|restore|schedule-backup|report|list|getconf|setconf|purge|parse-binlogs|check|manage-backup|verify-backup|extract-backup|abort-backup>
Help on individual action items can be obtained by specifying --help with the required action.
For example: 'mysql-zrm --action backup --help'
mysql-zrm --action --help

1) restoring the full backup
mysql-zrm --action restore --backup-set fullbackup --source-directory /var/lib/mysql-zrm/fullbackup/20120215114946/

2) steps for restoing the individual database from full backup.
first go to the index file
then change the logical-databses (db1 db2) etc
vi index
backup-set=fullbackup
backup-date=20120215114946
mysql-server-os=Linux/Unix
backup-type=regular
host=localhost
backup-date-epoch=1329286786
mysql-zrm-version=ZRM for MySQL Community Edition - version 2.2.0
mysql-version=5.5.19-log
backup-directory=/var/lib/mysql-zrm/fullbackup/20120215114946
backup-level=0
logical-databases=db1 db2
next-binlog=mysql-bin.000004
backup-size=478.09 MB
read-locks-time=00:00:19
flush-logs-time=00:00:00
backup-time=00:00:19
backup-status=Backup succeeded
mysql-zrm --action restore --backup-set fullbackup --source-directory /var/lib/mysql-zrm/fullbackup/20120215114946/ --databases "db1"
