Istruzioni
Setup BoostFS
Install BoostFS on the MySQL server to be backed up.
Create a mount point /backup and mount DD Storage Unit using BoostFS.

--encrypt=name Encrypt individual backup files using the specified encryption algorithm.
Configure multiple streams
CLI option --parallel as shown in above backup/restore command enables multi-stream (<64).
