I just do a mysqldump and backup everything. it take less than 30 seconds. mysqldump -u<user> -p<password> racktables > racktables.dump why complicate your life. Luis On 4/2/13 3:37 PM, Daniel Kasen wrote:
You could just use mysqldump for the whole DB. I've found it to be the simplest method. Then rsync the racktables dir if you use any custom plugins.-djtechaOn Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 12:52 PM, Chubby Wl <chubbypama@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:chubbypama@xxxxxxxxx>> wrote:Hi there. I'm trying to use the mysqldump command to create a complete back up of racktables. The command we are looking to use is the following: mysqldump --no-create-info=FALSE --order-by-primary=FALSE --force=FALSE --no-data=FALSE --tz-utc=TRUE \ --flush-privileges=FALSE --compress=FALSE --replace=FALSE --insert-ignore=FALSE --extended-insert=TRUE \ --user=root --password=nagios --quote-names=TRUE --hex-blob=FALSE --complete-insert=FALSE --add-locks=TRUE \ --port=3306 --disable-keys=TRUE --delayed-insert=FALSE --create-options=TRUE --delete-master-logs=FALSE \ --comments=TRUE --default-character-set=utf8 --max_allowed_packet=1G --flush-logs=FALSE --dump-date=TRUE \ --lock-tables=TRUE --allow-keywords=FALSE --events=FALSE --databases --routines "racktables" > /racktables-`hostname`.sql I wanted to double check to see if there was any recommended way of doing this. I've been looking through the docs and I've also googled but haven't found anything specific to racktables. Does anyone have any comments / can you share what you are doing to back up your database? Thanks
