MySQL™ Cluster Manager 1.3.6 User Manual
backup agents [--hosts=host_list
] [site_name
]host_list
:host
[,host
[, ...]]
This command backs up the configuration data for the
mcmd agents on the hosts specified in
host_list
for the site named
site_name
. If no host names are
specified, all agents of the site are backed up. If no
site_name
is given, only the agent
that the mcm client is connected to is backed
up.
The backup for each agent is created in a subfolder named
rep_backup/
under the agent repository (the timestamp
mcm_data
folder), with timestamp
reflecting
the time the backup began. If you want the backup to be at
another place, create a soft link from
mcm_data/rep_backup
to your desired storage
location.
Notice that the backup agents
command works differently from the backup
cluster
command, which backs up cluster data; the
backup agents
command, on the
other hand, backs up agent configuration data. Using together
the backups created by both commands, you can restore not just
the cluster, but the complete cluster-plus-manager setup. See
Section 3.7, “Backing Up and Restoring MySQL Cluster Manager Agents” for more
details about backing up and restoring mcmd
agents.
