Routines backup in Percona xtrabackup

Question

I am using Percona xtrabackup for creating backup of mysql server. Does backup file includes all the procedures, functions and triggers ? Does it get restored when i restore it ?

Answer 1

Procedures, functions are stored in mysql database, triggers in respective database directories. XtraBackup makes a copy of all of that.

It however doesn't make a copy of MySQL config file (/etc/my.cnf) you should take care of it.
