      --allow-primary                 Allow the primary of a shard to be used for the backup. WARNING: If using the builtin backup engine, this will shutdown mysqld on the primary and stop writes for the duration of the backup.

      --incremental-from-pos string   Position of previous backup. Default: empty. If given, then this backup becomes an incremental backup from given position. If value is 'auto', backup taken from last successful backup position
      --upgrade-safe                  Whether to use innodb_fast_shutdown=0 for the backup so it is safe to use for MySQL upgrades.
