Create a full backup with Swift¶

For details on the command-line options, see the xbcloud command-line options

The following example shows how to make a full backup and upload it to Swift.

$ xtrabackup --backup --stream=xbstream --extra-lsndir=/tmp --target-dir=/tmp | \
xbcloud put --storage=swift \
--swift-container=test \
--swift-user=test:tester \
--swift-auth-url=http://192.168.8.80:8080/ \
--swift-key=testing \
--parallel=10 \
full_backup

The following OpenStack environment variables are also recognized and mapped automatically to the corresponding swift parameters (--storage=swift):

OS_AUTH_URL
OS_TENANT_NAME
OS_TENANT_ID
OS_USERNAME
OS_PASSWORD
OS_USER_DOMAIN
OS_USER_DOMAIN_ID
OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN
OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_ID
OS_REGION_NAME
OS_STORAGE_URL
OS_CACERT

Restore with Swift¶

$ xbcloud get [options] <name> [<list-of-files>] | xbstream -x

The following example shows how to fetch and restore the backup from Swift:

$ xbcloud get --storage=swift \
--swift-container=test \
--swift-user=test:tester \
--swift-auth-url=http://192.168.8.80:8080/ \
--swift-key=testing \
full_backup | xbstream -xv -C /tmp/downloaded_full

$ xbcloud delete --storage=swift --swift-user=xtrabackup \
--swift-password=xtrabackup123! --swift-auth-version=3 \
--swift-auth-url=http://openstack.ci.percona.com:5000/ \
--swift-container=mybackup1 --swift-domain=Default
