MySQL Enterprise Backup (MEB) has the capability to make real incremental (differential and cumulative?) backups. The actual releases are quite cool and you should really look at it…<\/p>\n

Unfortunately the original MySQL documentation is much too complicated for my simple mind. So I did some testing and simplified it a bit for our customers…<\/p>\n

If you want to dive into the original documentation please look here:\u00a0<\/span>Making an Incremental Backup\u00a0<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you want to use MySQL Enterprise Backup please let us know and\u00a0<\/span>we send you a quote<\/a>…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

First you have to do a full backup. We did it as follows:<\/div>\n
\nmysqlbackup –defaults-file=\/etc\/my.cnf –user=root –backup-dir=\/backup\/full backup
\nmysqlbackup –defaults-file=\/etc\/my.cnf –user=root –backup-dir=\/backup\/full apply-log<\/div>\n
Then you can do the incremental backup:<\/div>\n
mysqlbackup –defaults-file=\/etc\/my.cnf –user=root –incremental –incremental-base=dir:\/backup\/full –incremental-backup-dir=\/backup\/incremental1 backup
\nmysqlbackup –defaults-file=\/etc\/my.cnf –user=root –backup-dir=\/backup\/full –incremental-backup-dir=\/backup\/incremental1 apply-incremental-backup<\/div>\n
this incremental backup you can repeat several times…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\nFULL MYSQL BACKUP
\nmysqlbackup –defaults-file=\/etc\/my.cnf –user=root –backup-dir=\/backup\/full backup
\nmysqlbackup –defaults-file=\/etc\/my.cnf –user=root –backup-dir=\/backup\/full apply-log<\/div>\n
FIRST MYSQL INCREMENTAL BACKUP<\/div>\n
mysqlbackup –defaults-file=\/etc\/my.cnf –user=root –incremental –incremental-base=dir:\/backup\/full –incremental-backup-dir=\/backup\/incremental1 backup
\nmysqlbackup –defaults-file=\/etc\/my.cnf –user=root –backup-dir=\/backup\/full –incremental-backup-dir=\/backup\/incremental1 apply-incremental-backup<\/div>\n
SECOND MYSQL INCREMENTAL BACKUP<\/div>\n
mysqlbackup –defaults-file=\/etc\/my.cnf –user=root –incremental –incremental-base=dir:\/backup\/full –incremental-backup-dir=\/backup\/incremental2 backup
\nmysqlbackup –defaults-file=\/etc\/my.cnf –user=root –backup-dir=\/backup\/full –incremental-backup-dir=\/backup\/incremental2 apply-incremental-backup<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
