About NetBackup for MariaDB
NetBackup for MariaDB extends the capabilities of NetBackup to include backups and restores of the MariaDB databases. The agent supports the MariaDB version 5.5 and later.
The agent also supports to:
Validate the backup.
Query a backup and restore.
Delete the backup information from the catalog files.
Redirect restores.
NetBackup for MariaDB is available with the NetBackup client.
Note:
Ensure that all NetBackup hosts are of the same NetBackup versions for successful backup and restore operations.
The agent communicates with the MariaDB database to create a snapshot. The Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) for Windows or Logical Volume Manager (LVM) for Linux, takes a snapshot of the MariaDB database.
The agent then interacts with the NetBackup XBSA interface to update the server name, policy, and schedule type information. The NetBackup primary server connects to the NetBackup client to backup or retrieve the data that you want to protect.
The agent mounts the snapshot, copies the file, and then sends it to the NetBackup XBSA interface. The NetBackup XBSA interface then writes this data to the mounted media or disk storage that is managed by the NetBackup media server.
