지침

Setup BoostFS
Install BoostFS on the MySQL server to be backed up.

Create a mount point /backup and mount DD Storage Unit using BoostFS.

Disable compression and encryption

 

--compress[=name] Compress individual backup files using the specified compression algorithm.

Currently the only supported algorithm is 'quicklz'. It is also the default algorithm, i.e. the one used when --compress is used without an argument.

By default compression is disabled, so backup command without this option will backup without compression.

--encrypt=name Encrypt individual backup files using the specified encryption algorithm.


Configure multiple streams

CLI option --parallel as shown in above backup/restore command enables multi-stream (<64).
