You can back up the data from a standby server using the MySQL block-level backup operation.
You can perform the backup operation only on Linux servers.
Before You Begin
-
Install the MySQL agent on the master server and the standby server.
For more information, see Deployment - MySQL Agent.
-
Create a new MySQL instance and configure a subclient in the master server and the standby server.
For more information, see Managing Instances and Configuring a Subclient for MySQL Database Block-Level Backups Using IntelliSnap.
-
Enable --log-slave-updates parameter on the standby server.
Procedure
-
From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers > Client > MySQL > Instance.
-
Right-click the standby subclient, and then click Backup.
The Backup Options dialog box appears.
-
Select Full as the backup type.
-
In the Job Initiation section, choose whether to run the backup job immediately or to schedule it.
-
Click OK.
Note
If replication operation is running during a backup operation, replication is stopped before the snapshot is created. It is then started again automatically.
