Cloud Z DB backups are executed through the ZDB App (Backup Agent), and the backup files are stored in compressed format in Object Storage.
Backup methods and types provided by ZDB vary by service. The following table summarizes the available backup options:
Service Type | Backup Type | Execution Schedule | Remarks |
MariaDB | Backup Now - Dump Backup | On - demand | mysqldump |
Backup Now - Binary Backup | On - demand | mariabackup - compatible with Percona XtraBackup | |
Scheduled Backup - Full Backup | Daily or Weekly | mariabackup | |
Scheduled Backup - Incremental | Every 1, 2, 6, 12, or 24 hours | mariabackup | |
Redis | Backup Now | On - demand | bgsave |
Scheduled Backup | Daily | bgsave |
Additionally, for MariaDB services, you can use additional backup storage.
Using dedicated backup storage allows for faster recovery operations by utilizing the most recent backup.
