What this project is about?

The idea for this tool, came from my hard times after accidentally deleting the table data. There was a full backup and 12 incremental backups. It took me 20 minutes to prepare necessary commands for preparing backups. If you have compressed + encrypted backups you need also, decrypt and decompress, which is going to add extra time for preparing backups. Then I decided to automate this process. In other words, preparing necessary commands for backup and prepare stage were automated.

We have nice CLI with necessary options:

autoxtrabackup --help
Usage: autoxtrabackup [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --dry-run                       Enable the dry run.
  --prepare                       Prepare/recover backups.
  --run-server                    Start the FastAPI app for serving API
  --backup                        Take full and incremental backups.
  --version                       Version information.
  --defaults-file TEXT            Read options from the given file  [default: /
                                  home/shako/.autoxtrabackup/autoxtrabackup.cn
                                  f]

  --tag TEXT                      Pass the tag string for each backup
  --show-tags                     Show backup tags and exit
  -v, --verbose                   Be verbose (print to console)
  -lf, --log-file TEXT            Set log file  [default: /home/shako/.autoxtr
                                  abackup/autoxtrabackup.log]

  -l, --log, --log-level [DEBUG|INFO|WARNING|ERROR|CRITICAL]
                                  Set log level  [default: INFO]
  --log-file-max-bytes INTEGER    Set log file max size in bytes  [default:
                                  1073741824]

  --log-file-backup-count INTEGER
                                  Set log file backup count  [default: 7]
  --help                          Print help message and exit.

If you think, CLI is not for you. We have experimental feature where you can start API server and take backups using API call(ATTENTION: FastAPI involved)

sudo `which autoxtrabackup` --run-server
INFO:     Started server process [30238]
INFO:     Waiting for application startup.
app started
INFO:     Application startup complete.
INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:5555 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5555/backup
{"result":"Successfully finished the backup process"}
