A Quick Look at MySQL 6.0’s New Backup
I still remember the day. I was working for a large systems integrator on a very major account, and had responsibility for some DB2 databases, but also had the unfortunate duty of also taking care of some legacy IMS databases (hierarchical IBM databases used quite a lot ‘back in the day'), which I knew next to nothing about. One morning I was asked to make a small change to a very large and prominent IMS database - just remove one record - what could go wrong? The guy who knew IMS real well was gone so I put together a program to do the job (yes, you actually had to write a program to do it), and ran it after hours. I came in the next day and tried to access some records in the database. Nothing. All gone, except for - ta-da - the one record I wanted to remove! At the instant I realized my mistake, I was acutely aware of two things: (1) I was in serious trouble if I didn't have a backup, and (2) I was in desperate need of a complete change in underwear.

BBACKUPD-CONFIG(8)						    Box Backup							BBACKUPD-CONFIG(8)

NAME

       bbackupd-config - Box Backup client daemon configuration file generator

SYNOPSIS

       bbackupd-config config-dir backup-mode account-num server-hostname working-dir backup-dir [backup-dir ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The bbackupd-config script creates configuration files and client certificates. It takes at least six parameters:

       config-dir
	   Configuration directory. Usually /etc/box.

       backup-mode
	   Either lazy or snapshot.

       account-num
	   The client account number. This is set by the bbstored administrator.

       server-hostname
	   The hostname or IP address of the bbstored server.

       working-dir
	   A directory to keep temporary state files. This is usually something like /var/bbackupd. This can be changed in bbackupd.conf later on
	   if required.

       backup-dir
	   A space-separated list of directories to be backed up. Note that this does not traverse mount points.

FILES

       /etc/box/bbackupd.conf

       /etc/box/bbackupd/NotifySysAdmin.sh
