## MySQL LVM Backup Example Backup-Set ## ## This implements a standard MySQL + LVM Backup. For the most part, ## the snapshot options need no modification. Changing the recovery ## and locking options may be occasionally useful. The plugin is designed ## to fit the majority of configurations without needing to make any ## modifications, however. ## Global Holland Settings [holland:backup] plugin = mysql-lvm backups-to-keep = 1 auto-purge-failures = yes purge-policy = after-backup estimated-size-factor = 1.0 ## LVM Backup Specific Settings [mysql-lvm] ## The size of the snapshot itself. By default it is 20% of the size of ## the MySQL LVM mount or the remaining free-space in the Volume Group ## (if there is less than 20% available) up to 15GB. ## ## If snapshot-size is defined, the number represents the size of the ## snapshot in megabytes. #snapshot-size = "" ## The name of the snapshot, the default being the name of the MySQL LVM ## volume + "_snapshot" (ie Storage-MySQL_snapshot) #snapshot-name = "" # no default ## Where to mount the snapshot. By default a randomly generated directory ## under /tmp is used. #snapshot-mountpoint = "" # no default ## Whether or not to run an InnoDB recovery operation. This avoids needing ## to do so during a restore, though will make the backup process itself ## take longer. #innodb-recovery = False ## Whether or not to run a FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK to grab various ## bits of information (such as the binary log name and position). Disabling ## this requires that binary logging is disabled and InnoDB is being used ## exclusively. Otherwise, it is possible that the backup could contain ## crashed tables. #lock-tables = True ## Whether or not to run a FLUSH TABLES before running the full ## FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK. Should make the FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK ## operation a bit faster. #extra-flush-tables = True ## Compression Settings [compression] ## compress method: gzip, bzip2, lzop, or xz ## Which compression method to use, which can be either gzip, bzip2, or lzop. ## Note that lzop is not often installed by default on many Linux ## distributions and may need to be installed separately. method = gzip ## What compression level to use. Lower numbers mean faster compression, ## though also generally a worse compression ratio. Generally, levels 1-3 ## are considered fairly fast and still offer good compression for textual ## data. Levels above 7 can often cause a larger impact on the system due to ## needing much more CPU resources. Setting the level to 0 effectively ## disables compresion. level = 1 #[mysql:client] #user = hollandbackup #password = "hollandpw" #socket = /tmp/mysqld.sock #host = localhost #port = 3306
