Overview

Puppet module for setting up percona xtrabackup to backup a MariaDB, Percona or MySQL server

Module Description

Manages incremental and/or differential and full backups of your data directory using Perconas awesome xtrabackup.

Setup

what xtrabackup affects:

• the xtrabackup sericve
• configuration files for xtrabackup

Beginning with xtrabackup

This will manage a basic setup for xtrabackup.

# on your database node
include xtrabackup
# set these vars with hiera
$xtrabackup::type # incremental, differential or both
$xtrabackup::backup_server # $::fqdn of backup server (defaults to backup.$::domain)
$xtrabackup::rsync_ip # $::ipaddress for rsync to backup server
$xtrabackup::inc_hours # array of hours for incremental backup
$xtrabackup::diff_hours # array of hours for differential backup
$xtrabackup::full_hours # array of hours for full backup
$xtrabackup::full_keep # age of full backup files to keep in tidy format ie: 1w, 1d etc
$xtrabackup::inc_keep # age of incremental backup files to keep in tidy format ie: 1w, 1d etc
$xtrabackup::diff_keep # age of differential baclup files to keep in tidy format ie: 1w, 1d etc

# or as class vars
# incremental backups
class { 'xtrabackup':
  type          => 'incremental',
  full_hours    => ['9','18'],
  inc_hours     => ['0','12'],
  full_keep     => '1w',
  inc_keep      => '1d',
  backup_server => 'backup.domain.com',
}
# diferential backups
class { 'xtrabackup':
  type          => 'differential',
  full_hours    => ['9','18'],
  inc_hours     => ['0','12'],
  full_keep     => '1w',
  diff_keep     => '1d',
  backup_server => 'backup.domain.com',
}
# both
class { 'xtrabackup':
  type          => 'both',
  full_hours    => ['18'],
  inc_hours     => ['0','12'],
  diff_hours    => ['6','9'],
  full_keep     => '1w',
  inc_keep      => '1d',
  diff_keep     => '1d',
  backup_server => 'backup.domain.com',
}

# on your backup server
# this will import all rsyncs where the fqdn of this noce was used as the backup_server
include xtrabackup::remote

Usage

Implementation

Uses files based on templates to manage the xtrabackup configuration files

Limitations

Backup crons need stored configs on your puppet master. I recommend using PuppetDB for this.

Development

All development, testing and releasing is done by Abstract IT at this stage. If you wish to join in let me know.
