Building

To build binary and run test:

$ make
$ make test

Notice BR supports building with Go version Go >= 1.16

When BR is built successfully, you can find binary in the bin directory.

Quick start(docker-compose)

# Start TiDB cluster
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml rm -s -v && \
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml build && \
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml up --remove-orphans

# Attach to control container to run BR
docker exec -it br_control_1 bash

# Load testing data to TiDB
go-ycsb load mysql -p workload=core \
    -p mysql.host=tidb -p mysql.port=4000 -p mysql.user=root \
    -p recordcount=100000 -p threadcount=100

# How many rows do we get? 100000 rows.
mysql -uroot -htidb -P4000 -E -e "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM test.usertable"

# Build BR and backup!
make build && \
bin/br backup full --pd pd0:2379 --storage "local:///data/backup/full" \
    --log-file "/logs/br_backup.log"

# Let's drop database.
mysql -uroot -htidb -P4000 -E -e "DROP DATABASE test; SHOW DATABASES;"

# Restore!
bin/br restore full --pd pd0:2379 --storage "local:///data/backup/full" \
    --log-file "/logs/br_restore.log"

# How many rows do we get again? Expected to be 100000 rows.
mysql -uroot -htidb -P4000 -E -e "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM test.usertable"

# Test S3 compatible storage (MinIO).
# Create a bucket to save backup by mc (a MinIO Client).
mc config host add minio $S3_ENDPOINT $MINIO_ACCESS_KEY $MINIO_SECRET_KEY && \
mc mb minio/mybucket

# Backup to S3 compatible storage.
bin/br backup full --pd pd0:2379 --storage "s3://mybucket/full" \
    --s3.endpoint="$S3_ENDPOINT"

# Drop database and restore!
mysql -uroot -htidb -P4000 -E -e "DROP DATABASE test; SHOW DATABASES;" && \
bin/br restore full --pd pd0:2379 --storage "s3://mybucket/full" \
    --s3.endpoint="$S3_ENDPOINT"

Quick Start(tiup)

# Using tiup to start a TiDB cluster
tiup playground --db 2 --pd 3 --kv 3 --monitor

# Using tiup bench to generater test data.
tiup bench tpcc --warehouses 1 prepare

# How many row do we get? 300242 rows.
mysql --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4000 -E -e "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM test.order_line" -u root -p

# Build br.
make build

# Backup TPC-C test data.
bin/br backup table --db test \
	--table order_line \
	-s local:///tmp/backup_test/ \
	--pd ${PD_ADDR}:2379 \
	--log-file backup_test.log \

# Let's drop the table.
mysql -uroot --host 127.0.0.1 -P4000 -E -e "USE test; DROP TABLE order_line; show tables" -u root -p

# Restore from the backup.
bin/br restore table --db test \
	--table order_line \
	-s local:///tmp/backup_test/ \
	--pd ${PD_ADDR}:2379 \
	--log-file restore_test.log

# How many rows do we get after restore? Expected to be 300242 rows.
mysql --host 127.0.0.1 -P4000 -E -e "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM test.order_line" -uroot -p
