# Configure MySQL Instance to Enable Enterprise Backup

To use MySQL Enterprise Backup, enable it for an instance.

After you enable MySQL Enterprise Backup for an instance, you cannot create new database groups for the instance.

## Before You Begin

Make sure that the Block-level, IntelliSnap, XtraBackup and Standby options are disabled.

## Procedure

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

   The database Overview tab appears.

2. On the Instance tab, click an instance.

   The instance Overview tab appears.

3. In the General tile, click Edit.

   The Edit MySQL instance dialog box appears.

4. Under Advanced options, move the Enable hot backup toggle key to the right.

5. Select Enterprise backup.

6. In the Enterprise backup bin path box, click the browse icon to select the MySQL utility path that is required to enable MySQL Enterprise Backup.

7. To prevent backups from locking the non-InnoDB tables, select the No lock check box.

   Note

   - To avoid inconsistencies in non-InnoDB data, do not select this checkbox.

   - If the No lock option is enabled with MySQL enterprise backup, use a data restore. Log restores are not recommended because binlogs may be skipped when No lock is enabled.

8. Click Update.
