Hi community!
AWS using RDS they can reach to get restore point time of database 5 minutes using their service, is this possible to set in percona? at least 30 min doing by self configuration ? what hardware must to be consider if is possible to try a similar setup not using the RDS service?
our actual scenario is ec2 m5.xlarge (4 cpu,16 gb ram)
ebs gp3 with 10000 iops
100 database around 5gb ~ 50gb with more than 2000-3000 tables each.
right now we are using master - slave setup and doing backup using xtrabackup with xbstream from slave to send xtrabackup files compress and crypted to other server.
our backup full is taking 2 hours and diffs less than ~1 hour, we want to reduce that.
thanks
Hello @baph0m3t ,
low RPO can be reached with point-in-time recovery. In other words, you just need to ensure that you store binary logs somewhere that you can replay.
Each layer here lowers your RPO:
- Full backup
- Incremental (can be skipped)
- Binary logs
Hi @Sergey_Pronin
thanks for quick response, so the only need to do is do backup full and just keep the binlogs without delete it?
and where is point-in-time is a comand or an option to add to xtrabackup for restore use a command point-to-restore ?
I can’t recommend backup strategy without having the full picture. It may vary on case by case basis.
As for commands, please have a look here: Point-in-time recovery - Percona XtraBackup
ok thanks so much… now we evaluate the new way to get this goal and make some tests.
