MySQL Disaster Recovery using ZRM For MySQL

Assumptions:

1. MySQL backup has been restored to disk from tape.
2. Destination MySQL Server has MySQL installed/configured/running.
3. Destination MySQL Server has ZRM for MySQL installed/configured.

Copy backup and configuration files for database to the destination MySQL server. For this example the name of our backupset is called dailyrun.

-bash-3.1# cd /etc/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/
-bash-3.1# ls -lh *.conf
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root 8.8K Nov 7 11:56 mysql-zrm.conf
-bash-3.1# scp mysql-zrm.conf root@fc5xfsvm:mysql-zrm.conf
root@fc5xfsvm's password:
mysql-zrm.conf

-bash-3.1# cd /var/lib/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/
-bash-3.1# ls -lh
total 4.0K
drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Nov 7 12:00 20061107115700
-bash-3.1# tar -cvf lastdbbackup.tar 20061107115700/
20061107115700/
20061107115700/index
20061107115700/backup-data
-bash-3.1# scp lastdbbackup.tar root@fc5xfsvm:lastdbbackup.tar
root@fc5xfsvm's password:
lastdbbackup.tar

Login to source MySQL Server and copy ZRM backup and configuration files to appropriate locations.

-bash-3.1# ssh fc5xfsvm

[root@fc5xfsvm ~]# mkdir /etc/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/

[root@fc5xfsvm ~]# cp mysql-zrm.conf /etc/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/
[root@fc5xfsvm ~]# cp lastdbbackup.tar /var/lib/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/

[root@fc5xfsvm ~]# cd /var/lib/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/

[root@fc5xfsvm dailyrun]# ls -lh *.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 105M Nov 7 14:51 lastdbbackup.tar
[root@fc5xfsvm dailyrun]# tar -xvf lastdbbackup.tar

20061107115700/backup-data

Log into destination MySQL server and create backup-user with appropriate permissions.

mysql> grant create, insert, update, drop, lock tables, select, grant option, super, replication client, reload, shutdown on *.* to 'backup-user'@'localhost' identified by 'pass123';

Initialize Restore.

[root@fc5xfsvm mysql-zrm]# mysql-zrm --action restore --backup-set dailyrun --source-directory /var/lib/mysql-zrm/dailyrun/20061107115700/
