I see 2024R1.1.2 was released but I see nothing in the changelog mentioning the backup/restore scripts being fixed?!?!

Thanks @danderson!

My only confusion now is if I am restoring from a RHEL 7.x host to a brand new OEL 8.9 host I saw other issues. The RHEL has MariaDB installed and being used. However, the OEL 8.9 I am installing in offline mode, which goes very well but installs MySQL instead of MariaDB. If I manually install MariaDB BEFORE doing the offline install, will the fresh install use MariaDB instead of installing MySQL?

Thanks!

I believe you'll run into issues if you try to use Mariadb on OEL 8.9. It will certainly try to install but I think it will fail. I believe mariadb is only supported on the EL 7's and only MySQL in the 8 and 9 versions. I think this is because the two started diverging and Nagios chose to stick with MySQL. You shouldn't have issues restoring from RHEL 7 to Oracle 8 (I'm assuming OEL means Oracle Enterprise Linux) when you have the same versions.

Let me know if you run into issues doing a restore.
