I have some vague memory that the Mariabackup was somehow dependent on the binary log but can't find anything in the documentation. Does the Mariabackup tool make use in any way of the binary log, is it safe to disable it?
I am not using replication and the database is relatively busy and the binary-log is filling up free space sometimes too quickly and I would rather disable it.
Mariabackup makes use of the binary log to perform point-in-time recovery. See the --binlog-info option.
