Backing Up a MySQL Database Group

You can perform a full backup operation or an incremental backup operation of a MySQL database group.

You can perform a backup operation using the Kubernetes clients from the master server only.

Procedure

  1. From the navigation pane, go to Protect > Databases.

    The database Overview tab appears.

  2. On the Instances tab, click an instance.

    The instance Overview tab appears.

  3. On the Database groups tab, click the database group that you want to backup.

    The database group overview page appears.

  4. Click Backup.

    The Backup options dialog box appears.

  5. Under Backup level, select the type of backup that you want to perform, either Full, Incremental or Synthetic full.

    Depending on whether you configure the database instance and/or configure the database group, the Truncate logs on source check box and the Purge binary logs check box might or might not appear, to run backup operations on a standby server.

    • If you configured one or neither of the entities to run backup operations on a standby server, then the Purge binary logs check box appears.
  6. If the Purge binary logs check box appears, select it to purge binary logs after the backup.

  7. Select the Create a backup copy immediately to create a backup copy of the database group.
