Create and List Backups
Hint: Use Juju 3. Otherwise replace
juju run ...withjuju run-action --wait ...for Juju 2.9.
Creating and listing backups requires that you:
- Have a Charmed MySQL deployed
- Access to S3 storage
- Have configured settings for S3 storage
Once Charmed MySQL is active and idle (check juju status), you can create your first backup with the create-backup command:
juju run mysql/leader create-backup
If you have a cluster of one unit, you can run the create-backup action on mysql-k8s/leader (which will also be the primary unit).
Otherwise, you must run the create-backup action on a non-primary unit (see juju status or run juju run-action mysql-k8s/leader get-cluster-status to find the primary unit).
You can list your available, failed, and in progress backups by running the list-backups command:
juju run mysql/leader list-backups
