MySQL 9.0 Reference Manual Including MySQL NDB Cluster 9.0

25.6.8.3 Configuration for NDB Cluster Backups

Five configuration parameters are essential for backup:

In addition, CompressedBackup causes NDB to use compression when creating and writing to backup files.

More detailed information about these parameters can be found in Backup Parameters.

You can also set a location for the backup files using the BackupDataDir configuration parameter. The default is FileSystemPath/BACKUP/BACKUP-backup_id.

You can enforce encryption of backup files by setting RequireEncryptedBackup to 1; this prevents the creation of backups without specifying ENCRYPT PASSWORD=password as part of a START BACKUP command.
