Unknowingly myteam zipped below files when space is full.

-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 237350063 Nov 5 05:20 nagios_externalcommands.MYD.gz
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 61441702 Nov 5 05:38 nagios_logentries.MYD.gz
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 27455026 Nov 5 05:38 nagios_statehistory.MYD.gz


I am not sure how does it effect nagios application or historical data.I tried to replicate in test (zipping this 3 files ,created same backup error and unzipped them and able to backup).Can I unzip and backup in production as well.

Please suggest

Unzipping them should be fine.

you may close this..This is resolved
