PowerProtect Database Application Agent 19.15 Installation and Administration Guide

Database application agent features specific to MySQL

The database application agent supports the backups and restores of MySQL database data to and from a DD Boost device through the Orchestrated Application Protection feature.

The database application agent program ddbmoappbackup works with the MySQL utility mysqldump to perform the database full backups. MySQL supports the transaction log (binary log), and the transaction log can be backed up separately. After you complete the required backup configuration, you can perform manual database application agent backups of the MySQL data.

The database application agent program ddbmoapprecover retrieves the MySQL data or log backup into a user-specified directory. The directory does not initially exist on the file system, and the program creates the directory. After you run the ddbmoapprecover program to retrieve the required data and log files, you must run the required MySQL restore utility to complete the restore or recovery of the data backup.
