Backups and restores
Now that we have established that the prerequisites are in order, we will perform the actual functions.
Full backup
The Trove command line with the backup-create option helps us create a full backup of the database.
Please note that backup/restore may turn off (or pause) the database service for a brief moment to ensure that data is not corrupted. So, caution should be exercised while taking backups or performing restores of production databases.
The command format is trove backup-create <instance-id> <backup-name>. Please remember that we can check the instance ID using the trove list command.
So, in order to back up the test12 database, we would execute:
trove backup-create 723c048e-bd5b-4e1a-84cd-836be970d7db myfirstbackup-1 ...Get OpenStack Trove Essentials now with the O’Reilly learning platform.
