    Description

      When using mariabackup to create a backup, I used the option --version-check along with the command. The command looked similar to the following:
      /usr/bin/mariabackup --backup --user=<username> --password=<password> --galera-info --version-check --ssl --stream=xbstream | gzip - > /opt/backup/full/testbu.gz

      The result of the command was:
      /usr/bin/mariabackup: unknown option '--version-check'

            mariabackup used to have this option (inherited from xtrabackup, surely), but not anymore. If it did what is documented for Percona xtrabackup, then it indeed doesn't make sense for mariabackup:

            When launched with Version Check enabled, the tool that supports this feature connects to a Percona’s version check service via a secure HTTPS channel. It compares the locally installed version for possible updates, and also checks versions <...>

            So it was probably the right way to remove it, although not very backward-compatible.

            However, it is still documented in the KB, so it is a documentation bug to fix.

            I have removed ##version-check## from the page. ##no-version-check" is however still present.
