5.1.15 Cloud Storage Options

These options are for creating or restoring a single-file backup to or from cloud storage. See Section 3.3.5.3, “Backing Up to Cloud Storage” for more information and instructions on using cloud storage with MySQL Enterprise Backup.

Note

Due to some issues, Amazon S3 is currently not supported by MySQL Enterprise Backup 3.11.

• --cloud-service

  Cloud service for data backup or restoration. Currently, only the Amazon S3 service is supported, and “s3” is the only value mysqlbackup accepts for this option.

• --cloud-bucket

  The storage bucket on Amazon S3 for the backup image. The option only has meaning if Amazon S3 is used for cloud backup.

  In order to perform cloud backups and restores with the bucket, the user identified by the --cloud-access-key-id option must have at least the following permissions on the bucket:

  • s3:ListBucket: For listing information on items in the bucket.

  • s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads: For listing multipart uploads in progress to the bucket.

  • s3:GetObject: For retrieving objects from the bucket.

  • s3:PutObject: For adding objects to the bucket.

• --cloud-object-key

  The Amazon S3 object key for the backup image. The option only has meaning if Amazon S3 is used for cloud backup.

• --cloud-access-key-id

  AWS access key ID for logging onto Amazon S3. The option only has meaning if Amazon S3 is used for cloud backup.

• --cloud-secret-access-key

  AWS secret access key that goes with the AWS access key id used in --cloud-access-key-id. The option only has meaning if Amazon S3 is used for cloud backup.

• --cloud-aws-region

  Region for Amazon Web Services that mysqlbackup accesses for S3. The option only has meaning if Amazon S3 is used for cloud backup.

• --cloud-trace

  Print trace information for cloud operations. It works independently of --trace, which specifies the trace level for the non-cloud operations of mysqlbackup.

  Any non-zero value for the option enables the trace function. Default value is “0.”

• --cloud-proxy=proxy-url:port

  Proxy address and port number for overriding the environment's default proxy settings for accessing Amazon S3.

  Note

  The list-image operation can be performed on a cloud backup only if the cloud proxy supports range headers.
