Why we need backups for ?

Slide 8

Slide 8 text

8 Why we need backups for ? • Slave provisioning • Build Staging / Dev environments • Disaster recovery - Data Corruption - Malicious SQL - Software Bugs - Hardware failure

Slide 9

Slide 9 text

9 Replication as backup ? Yes • Master crashes • Database physical file corruption • Any physical hardware failure - CPU - RAM - Disk - Network card

Slide 10

Slide 10 text

10 Replication as backup ? No • Application Bug • Database Hack • Malicious SQL commands

Slide 11

Types of backups

Slide 12

Slide 12 text

12 Types of backups - Logical • Structure and data are saved as logical structure • CREATE DATABASE / TABLE • INSERT INTO • Can easily be used for selective restore (Only one database/table) • Good when physical file is fragmented / corrupted • Taken while MySQL is running • Slower than physical • Tools: mysqldump, mydumper, mysqlpump

Slide 13

Slide 13 text

13 Types of backups - Physical • Raw copy of your databases and tables • Can be used for selective restore (Only one database/table) • Fast for either Dump and restore • Can be taken while MySQL is running • Bad for table corruption • Tools: Percona XtraBackup, MySQL Enterprise Backup, snapshots, rsync, cp

Slide 14

Slide 14 text

14 Types of backups - Differential or Incremental • Differential - Full copy of the database - Each differential backup has all the changes since last full backup • Monday: FULL • Tuesday: Incremental since Monday • Wednesday: Incremental since Monday • Thursday: Incremental since Monday

Encryption

Slide 19

Slide 19 text

19 Encryption • Keep your backups safe from unwanted access • openssl • Percona XtraBackup • --encrypt=ALGORITHM - AES128, AES192, AES256 • --encrypt-key=ENCRYPTION_KEY or --encrypt-key-file=KEYFILE

Slide 20

Slide 20 text

20 Encryption • Encrypt - xtrabackup --backup --encrypt=AES256 \ --encrypt-key-file=/data/backups/keyfile --target-dir=/data/backups • --encrypt-threads (used with --parallel ) • Decrypt - xtrabackup --decrypt=AES256 \ --encrypt-key-file=/data/backups/keyfile --target-dir=/data/backups

Slide 21

Slide 21 text

Compression

Slide 22

Slide 22 text

22 Compression • Save storage space • Require less network when streaming • Percona XtraBackup -xtrabackup --backup --compress \ --parallel=4 --compress-threads=4 --target-dir=/data/compressed/ •zip / gzip / bzip

Slide 34 text

34 R E S T O R E ! ! ! •Most important thing when taking backups •If you don’t test your backup, you simple don’t have a backup. •Restore on a fresh server •Keep track of restoration times •Re-configure as a slave •Test PITR

Slide 35

Slide 35 text

Validate your data

Slide 36

Slide 36 text

36 Validate your data •Run checksum on your data •Ensures your backup has all the data and the data is consistent •Pt-table-checksum / mysqldbcompare

Slide 37

Slide 37 text

Backup your binlogs

Slide 38

Slide 38 text

38 Backup your binlogs •Store a safe copy of your binlogs •Allows you to do point-in-time recovery even if you lose your master •Mysqlbinlog - mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server --host=host_name --raw --stop-never binlog_file •MaxScale Binlog Server

44 What is DNS? ● Domain Name Servers (DNS) are the Internet's equivalent of a phone book. They maintain a directory of domain names and translate them to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. ● Makes it easier to move around the Internet (dont have to remember IP addresses) ● Database of high importance ● Database pushes out zone file across the world ● Over 70 nodes

Slide 45

Slide 45 text

● Local slave and DR site backup slave ● Stop replication to slave ● Dump slave ● Restart replication ● Verify Dump, Compress Dump, Encrypt Dump ● Send to Backup Server How is our backup setup?

Slide 46

Slide 46 text

● Reset DR site backup slave ● Drop all DBs ● Decrypt Dump from backup, unCompress, Restore Dump ● Stop Server ● Compress DataDirectory , Encrypt DataDirectory ● Send to Backup Server How is our backup setup?
