MySQL Backup

Last updated: 2024-10-24 18:41:53

    Overview

    MySQL Backup is a SCF-based feature provided by COS. It allows you to store data in TencentDB for MySQL to COS so that data can be stored persistently and protected from data loss or corruption. After you set a backup function rule for a bucket, SCF will scan your MySQL backup files periodically and store them in the bucket.

    Notes

    MySQL Backup functions only back up the backup files of TencentDB for MySQL. Therefore, if MySQL backup has not been enabled, the functions cannot be executed. For more information about TencentDB for MySQL backups, see Backing up Databases.
    If you have added a MySQL backup rule to your bucket in the COS console, the backup function will appear in the SCF console. DO NOT delete the function. Otherwise, your rule may not take effect.
    MySQL Backup is supported in SCF-enabled regions, including Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Hong Kong (China), Singapore and Silicon Valley. For more supported regions, see SCF Documentation.

    The MySQL data to be backed up must be in the same region as the associated bucket.
    Trigger Period: Triggers the backup operation for the MySQL Backup function. Every day, every week, and custom periods are supported.

    Database Instance: MySQL instance in the region where the current bucket resides
    Delivery Path: Delivery path prefix of the backups. If not specified, backups will be stored in the root directory of the bucket.

    6. Click Confirm. You can perform the following operations on the created function:
    Click Log to view the historical running status of MySQL backup. If an error is reported, you can click Log to quickly redirect to the SCF console for viewing the error log details.
