Performing a Backup of a MySQL Database

You can perform a logical data dump backup of the data. When you perform a backup operation, the Commvault software invokes the MySQL mysqldump client utility to perform the backup operation.

You can perform only a full backup operation.

Note

You can only back up user-defined databases. System databases are not backed up.
You can not back up InnoDB data.

Procedure

From the CommCell Browser, go to Client Computers > client > MySQL > instance.
Right-click the subclient that you created, and then click Backup.

The Backup Options dialog box appears.
On the Backup Options tab, select the backup type and job initiation:
1. In the Select Backup Type area, select Full.
2. In the Job Initiation section, specify when to run the backup operation:
  - To run the job immediately, select Immediate.
  - To schedule the job, select Schedule, and then configure the schedule.
    
    For information about configuring a backup schedule, see Schedule Backups.
Click OK.
