Logical MySQL Backup
If it hasn't been done already, the bitnami
Helm repository
needs to be added to your local configuration:
# Add bitnami helm repo
$ helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
Install the MySQL chart from the bitnami
Helm repository:
$ kubectl create namespace mysql
$ helm install --namespace mysql mysql-release bitnami/mysql
The following command can be used create the MySQL Blueprint in the Veeam Kasten namespace.
$ kubectl --namespace kasten-io apply -f \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kanisterio/kanister/0.111.0/examples/mysql/blueprint-v2/mysql-blueprint.yaml
Note
The MySQL backup example provided above serves as a blueprint template for logical backups. Please note that these examples may need to be modified for specific production environments and setups. As a result, it is highly recommended to carefully review and modify the blueprints as needed before deploying them for production use.
Alternatively, use the Blueprints page on Veeam Kasten Dashboard to create the Blueprint resource.
Once the Blueprint is created, add an annotation on the MySQL Deployment to instruct Veeam Kasten to use the Blueprint when performing operations on this MySQL instance.
$ kubectl --namespace mysql annotate statefulset/mysql-release \
kanister.kasten.io/blueprint=mysql-blueprint
Finally, use Veeam Kasten to backup and restore the application.
