Customer Facing Data (CFD)

• As important as CRM and Financial Data– For many companies loss of CFD implies

catastrophe– Lost revenues, lost customers and lost

reputation

• Today’s Data Protection Challenge

• Break neck rate of change

• MySQL is the database of choice for CFD

• Metadata is very vital as well


Backup: Most important task for a MySQL DBA

• There is no quicker way to get fired than to lose business data

• Backup & recovery – the first step to data protection


“Oops!”

“I forgot to add a “where” clause and emptied the

entire thing!”

“I am the one who wrote the backup script

so I went to grab the backup for yesterday.

Yup, you know it. There wasn’t one. The backup stopped working back

on July 3rd! Ouch.”

“… the server on which my blog is being hosted was being changed and for some reason during

the importing the MySQL databases disappeared ”

“Does the backup through MySQL

Administrator have to be saved in a

certain way to allow migration to a new

box?”

“Hi, I lost MySQL server and I

didn’t do backups. What

can I do?”

“Lesson learned – always backup regularly!”


Top considerations for a MySQL backup solution

• Performance– Impact of the Backup Window– How fast your restore needs to be? (RTO)– How precise your restore needs to be? (RPO)

• Scale Up– 10GB -> 100GB -> 1TB -> ??– Organic growth Longer retention

• Scale Out– Wiki, Forums, Web registration database, Sugar, Alfresco,

…..– Multiple locations

• Security– Aren’t you backing up your crown jewels?


Backup needs to match MySQL’s flexibility

• Today & Future – MyISAM, InnoDB, Falcon …

• Replication– Slave pauses replication -> Backup on slave ->

Resume replication

• MySQL Cluster

• Restores should hide all the complexity


"Any darn fool can make something complex;

it takes a genius to make something simple.“

- Albert Einstein

Remote storage grid as a destination for backups

• Keep copy of data off-site yet online with storage grid, e.g. Amazon S3

• Pay for only what you use (bandwidth and disk capacity)

• Backup data is always available, anytime, anywhere

• You can have the risk profile of Amazon

“We think users should seriously consider

adopting such hybrid [backup & online storage] approaches to provide layered, efficient data protection.” - John Webster, Analyst, Illuminata


Infrastructure for scalability

Scenario:• 100+GB of database growing into Terabytes• 24x7 application (i.e. no backup window)• Active OLTP workload• Need ability to restore to specific database event

Solution:• Storage Snapshot + MySQL Logs

+ Automated Point-and-Click Restore


• Solaris 10 x86• MySQL Enterprise 5.0• ZFS Snapshots• ZRM 2.1• Raw copy speed 500 GB/hr

• Solaris 10 x86• ZFS Snapshot• MySQL Enterprise 5.0• ZRM 2.1• Raw copy speed 500 GB/hr


Snapshots – key considerations

• Snapshots scale extremely well as database size

grows

• Need to be used carefully to ensure data consistency

• Need to be integrated with log-based incremental

backups


Storage Snapshots

• ZFS

• NetApp

• VxFS

• LVM (Linux)

• VSS (Windows)
