New feature for OrientDB Server: automatic backups

[Luca Garulli]

Hi all,

in SVN trunk it's available an interesting feature for OrientDB server: automatic backups. Just enabled it and OrientDB will create backups for installed databases in transparent way.

http://code.google.com/p/orient/wiki/AutomaticBackup

To configure it add this snipped in your orientdb-server-config.xml file between handlers:

<!-- AUTOMATIC BACKUP, TO TURN ON SET THE 'ENABLED' PARAMETER TO 'true' -->
<handler class="com.orientechnologies.orient.server.handler.OAutomaticBackup">


  <parameters>
    <parameter name="enabled" value="true" />


    <parameter name="delay" value="4h" />


    <parameter name="target.directory" value="backup" />


    <parameter name="target.fileName" value="${DBNAME}-${DATE:yyyyMMddHHmmss}.json" />


    <parameter name="db.include" value="" />


    <parameter name="db.exclude" value="" />


  </parameters>
</handler>

uhmm, I had "created the place" to build my own "automatic-backup"
mechanism. I was thinking in using the CRUD triggers for some of the
most sensitive data or something like that.

I have to integrate it with this new feature and provide my feedback.
Very interesting.

Thanks,

Adolfo

Hi Luca,
   This is a great feature. I have applied as per the backup parameter and its working for me. A concern is its configuration file based. Hence when we want to change the backup plan then I need to restart the server to get the effect. Is there any sweet alternative without restarting the server.
    I am using "OrientDB Server v1.3.0".

Disclaimer: I am new to OrientDB. But want to deploy it in production.

Thanks,
Shantaram

Hi,

now the configuration is loaded at the beginning, but we could support it. Could you open a new issue please?

Hi Luca,

I got confusion here, is it a fully backup or incremental backup? how could i restore database from these files? do we have OrientDB-SQL commands to perform a backup and restore a database?

My Best,

Hung Tran

[Luca Garulli]

Hi,

it's always full backup (incremental backup will be in 2.1). To restore it use the console (or Java API):

orientdb> restore database /temp/mydb.gz

Hi Luca,

I have tried to enable it on OrientDB 2.1.8, but i got errors in Server console.

Am I missing any step? Any help will be very appreciated!

Is ORIENTDB_HOME variable configured correctly? Can the user that runs OrientDB write on that directory?

Hi Luca,

I have checked the ORIENTDB_HOME variable and write permission, they are fine, but backup still says this error.

I am using OrientDB 2.1.9 community version on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS trusty.

Any help will be very appreciated!

My Best,

Hung Tran
