Mysql Incremental Backup and point in time recovery I'm writing a shell script using the concept of binary logs for point in time recovery.

Now, the scenario is such that a full-backup will happen every alternate day and Incremental backup should be done in between.
Suppose full-backup happens on Monday and Wednesday, incremental backup should happen on Tuesday.
For point in time recovery, I'm using mysqlbinlog --starttime --stoptime binary-logs &gt; backup.sql
In the shell script I need to use starttime and log position of the previous full-backup to specify the log files in the statement, how can I retrieve this in a shell script and record the changes done during that time.
Is there anyway I can do this, please help me in this regard.
You can use  https://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqlincrementalbackup/ script. Description from its website:


  A complete incremental backup for MyISAM and InnodB in a mix
  environment for those applications use both of engines simultaneously
  using binary logs and a method that does not affect running database.
  There is no need to stop or lock the database, It does utilize only
  binary logs to extract update queries of databases. This tools uses
  automysqlbackup script as part of solution for its full backup.
