Performing a Transaction Log Backup with Do Not Truncate Logs for a MySQL Subclient

We need to retain the transaction logs of the production server, as it might be required later to perform a task. For example, it can be used for the replication of the slave servers. On selecting the Do Not Truncate Log check box, the transaction logs are backed up and the logs are not purged.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, navigate to Client Computers > client > MySQL > instance.

2. Right-click a subclient, and then click Backup.

3. In Select Backup Type area of the dialog box that appears, select Incremental as the backup type.

4. Select the Do Not Truncate Log check box.

   When this check box is selected, the transaction logs before the full or incremental backup are not purged from the MySQL Server instance.

5. In the Job Initiation area, select Immediate to run the job now.

6. Click OK.

You can track the progress of the job from the Job Controller. When the backup is complete, the Job Controller displays Completed.
