Managing backups in Managed Service for MySQL®

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To get the list of MySQL® cluster backups available in the default folder, run this command:

yc managed-mysql backup list

Result:

To restore an existing cluster from a backup:

1. Create a Terraform configuration file for the new cluster.

   Do not specify database (yandex_mdb_mysql_database) and user (yandex_mdb_mysql_user) resources as they will be restored from the backup.

2. Add the restore section to the configuration file:

   resource "yandex_mdb_mysql_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
     ...
     restore {
       backup_id = "<backup_ID>"
       time      = "<time>"
     }
   }
   

   In the time parameter, specify the point in time to which the MySQL® cluster's state should be restored, starting from the selected backup's creation time, in yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss format.

   Note

   The time parameter is optional. If you skip it, the cluster state will be restored to the point in time when the recovery process was initiated.

3. Validate your configuration.

   1. In the command line, navigate to the directory that contains the current Terraform configuration files defining the infrastructure.

   2. Run this command:

      terraform validate
      

      Terraform will show any errors found in your configuration files.

4. Confirm updating the resources.

   1. Run this command to view the planned changes:

      terraform plan
      

      If you described the configuration correctly, the terminal will display a list of the resources to update and their parameters. This is a verification step that does not apply changes to your resources.

   2. If everything looks correct, apply the changes:

      1. Run this command:

         terraform apply
         

      2. Confirm updating the resources.

      3. Wait for the operation to complete.

Terraform will create a copy of the existing cluster. The databases and users will be deployed from the selected backup.

resource "yandex_mdb_mysql_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
  ...
  timeouts {
    create = "1h30m" # 1 hour 30 minutes
    update = "2h"    # 2 hours
    delete = "30m"   # 30 minutes
  }
}

To restore a previously deleted cluster from a backup:

1. Create a Terraform configuration file for the new cluster.

   Do not specify database (yandex_mdb_mysql_database) and user (yandex_mdb_mysql_user) resources as they will be restored from the backup.

2. In this configuration file, add the restore section with the name of the backup to restore the data from:

   resource "yandex_mdb_mysql_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
     ...
     restore {
         backup_id = "<backup_ID>"
     }
   }
   

3. Make sure the settings are correct.

   1. In the command line, navigate to the directory that contains the current Terraform configuration files defining the infrastructure.

   2. Run this command:

      terraform validate
      

      Terraform will show any errors found in your configuration files.

4. Confirm updating the resources.

   1. Run this command to view the planned changes:

      terraform plan
      

      If you described the configuration correctly, the terminal will display a list of the resources to update and their parameters. This is a verification step that does not apply changes to your resources.

   2. If everything looks correct, apply the changes:

      1. Run this command:

         terraform apply
         

      2. Confirm updating the resources.

      3. Wait for the operation to complete.

Terraform will create the new cluster. The databases and users will be deployed from the backup.

For more information, see this Terraform provider guide.

      Terraform will show any errors found in your configuration files.

4. Confirm updating the resources.

   1. Run this command to view the planned changes:

      terraform plan
      

      If you described the configuration correctly, the terminal will display a list of the resources to update and their parameters. This is a verification step that does not apply changes to your resources.

   2. If everything looks correct, apply the changes:

      1. Run this command:

         terraform apply
         

      2. Confirm updating the resources.

      3. Wait for the operation to complete.

For more information, see this Terraform provider guide.

    update = "2h"    # 2 hours
    delete = "30m"   # 30 minutes
  }
}

1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and save it as an environment variable:

   export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
   

2. Call the Cluster.update method, e.g., via the following cURL request:

   Warning

   The API method will assign default values to all the parameters of the object you are modifying unless you explicitly provide them in your request. To avoid this, list the settings you want to change in the updateMask parameter as a single comma-separated string.

   curl \
       --request PATCH \
       --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
       --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
       --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-mysql/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>' \
       --data '{
                 "updateMask": "configSpec.backupWindowStart",
                 "configSpec": {
                   "backupWindowStart": {
                     "hours": "<hours>",

     • seconds: Between 0 and 59 seconds.
     • nanos: Between 0 and 999999999 nanoseconds.

   You can request the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

3. Check the server response to make sure your request was successful.

1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and set it as an environment variable:

   export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
   

2. Clone the cloudapi repository:

   cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
   

   Below, we assume the repository contents are stored in the ~/cloudapi/ directory.

3. Use the ClusterService/Update call and send the following request, e.g., via gRPCurl:

   Warning

   The API method will assign default values to all the parameters of the object you are modifying unless you explicitly provide them in your request. To avoid this, list the settings you want to change in the update_mask parameter as an array of paths[] strings.

     • minutes: Between 0 and 59 minutes.
     • seconds: Between 0 and 59 seconds.
     • nanos: Between 0 and 999999999 nanoseconds.

   You can request the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

4. Check the server response to make sure your request was successful.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To set the retention period for automatic backups, provide the required value in the --backup-retain-period-days argument of the cluster update command:

yc managed-mysql cluster update <cluster_name_or_ID> \
   --backup-retain-period-days=<retention_period_in_days>

The valid values range from 7 to 60. The default value is 7.

You can get the cluster ID and name with the list of clusters in the folder.

1. Open the current Terraform configuration file describing your infrastructure.

   For information on how to create this file, see Creating a cluster.

   For a complete list of Managed Service for MySQL® cluster configuration fields you can update, see this Terraform provider article.

2. To set the retention period for automatic backups, add the backup_retain_period_days section to the Managed Service for MySQL® cluster description:

   resource "yandex_mdb_mysql_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
     ...
     backup_window_start: <retention_period_in_days>
   }
   

3. Make sure the settings are correct.

   1. In the command line, navigate to the directory that contains the current Terraform configuration files defining the infrastructure.

   2. Run this command:

      terraform validate
      

      Terraform will show any errors found in your configuration files.

4. Confirm updating the resources.

   1. Run this command to view the planned changes:

      terraform plan
      

      If you described the configuration correctly, the terminal will display a list of the resources to update and their parameters. This is a verification step that does not apply changes to your resources.

   2. If everything looks correct, apply the changes:

      1. Run this command:

         terraform apply
         

      2. Confirm updating the resources.

      3. Wait for the operation to complete.
