Plugin for MySQL - Failed to find table file (4033616)

Plugin for MySQL - Failed to find table file

ERROR - Failed to find table file

Getting this error when trying to backup a table file with the MySQL Plugin even though table file is clearly listed when the database node is expanded from the MySQL Plugin.

CAUSE 1

Corruption to the MySQL Plugin

CAUSE 2

The table name contains a hyphen (-). Eg. mytable-1.frm

WORKAROUND 1

Remove and re-install the MySQL Plugin

WORKAROUND 2

Change MyISAM Backup Method to Mysqldump

Here's an excerpt from user's guide: * All table types except MyISAM are backed up, even if the database name contains hyphens. This is because the mysqldump command is always used for these table types. * If the database name contains hyphens, MyISAM tables are backed up if the MyISAM Backup Method is set to the Mysqldump option introduced in version 4.2. Note that performance of backups and restores might be negatively affected. * If the MyISAM Backup Method is set to use the default Lock & Copy Table Files option and the database name contains hyphens, MyISAM tables are not backed up because the plug-in bypasses MySQL commands and tries to copy the table files directly. The plug-in will log an error message indicating that the table file cannot be located, and then fail the backup job without creating a saveset.
