mariadbbackupis not used to bootstrap a node by mariadb-operator (this feature is not inmplemented yet), follow these manual steps to fix it: https://github.com/mariadb-operator/mariadb-operator/issues/141#issuecomment-1804760231Corrupted indicies Sometimes some indecies can be corrupted on master replica, you can recover them from slave:
mysqldump -h <slave> -P 3306 -u<user> -p<password> --column-statistics=0 <database> <table> ~/tmp/fix-table.sql mysql -h <master> -P 3306 -u<user> -p<password> <database> < ~/tmp/fix-table.sql
