xtrabackup-rb

Ruby module and command-line wrapper around innobackupex.

Features

• Create full backups
• Create incremental backups
• Prepare any backup to be restored

Examples

Create a full backup:

$ xtrabackup-rb backup -t full -d /tmp/backup -u root -p 123456789

Create an incremental backup starting from the latest backup found (full or incremental):

$ xtrabackup-rb backup -t incremental -d /tmp/backup -u root -p 123456789

You can now create further incremental backups, or continue with a new full backup.

Prepare the latest backup to be restored:

$ xtrabackup-rb prepare -d /tmp/backup -o /tmp/backup/prepared

Prepare a specific backup to be restored:

$ xtrabackup-rb prepare -d /tmp/backup -o /tmp/backup/prepared -b /tmp/backup/inc/2014-07-28_13-52-48

List backups:

$ xtrabackup-rb list -d /tmp/backup

Cleanup all but k backup chains:

$ xtrabackup-rb cleanup -k 7  -d /tmp/backup
