||
**Password Authentication**
|
||
|
||
Option 1: .pgpass file (recommended for automation):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
echo "localhost:5432:*:postgres:password" > ~/.pgpass
|
||
chmod 0600 ~/.pgpass
|
||
./dbbackup backup single mydb --user postgres
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Option 2: Environment variable:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
export PGPASSWORD=your_password
|
||
./dbbackup backup single mydb --user postgres
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Option 3: Command line flag:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./dbbackup backup single mydb --user postgres --password your_password
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### MySQL/MariaDB Authentication
|
||
|
||
**Option 1: Command line**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./dbbackup backup single mydb --db-type mysql --user root --password secret
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Option 2: Environment variable**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
export MYSQL_PWD=your_password
|
||
./dbbackup backup single mydb --db-type mysql --user root
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Option 3: Configuration file**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cat > ~/.my.cnf << EOF
|
||
[client]
|
||
user=backup_user
|
||
password=your_password
|
||
host=localhost
|
||
EOF
|
||
chmod 0600 ~/.my.cnf
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Environment Variables

|
||
export PG_HOST=localhost
|
||
export PG_PORT=5432
|
||
export PG_USER=postgres
|
||
export PGPASSWORD=password
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

|
||
## Performance
|
||
|
||
### Memory Usage
|
||
|
||
Streaming architecture maintains constant memory usage:
|
||
|
||
| Database Size | Memory Usage |
|
||
|---------------|--------------|
|
||
| 1-10 GB | ~800 MB |
|
||
| 10-50 GB | ~900 MB |
|
||
| 50-100 GB | ~950 MB |
|
||
| 100+ GB | <1 GB |
|
||
|
||
### Large Database Optimization
|
||
|
||
- Databases >5GB automatically use plain format with streaming compression
|
||
- Parallel compression via pigz (if available)
|
||
- Per-database timeout: 4 hours default
|
||
- Automatic format selection based on size
|
||
|
||
### CPU Optimization
|
||
|
||
Automatically detects CPU configuration and optimizes parallelism:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./dbbackup cpu
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Manual override:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./dbbackup backup cluster \
|
||
--max-cores 32 \
|
||
--jobs 32 \
|
||
--cpu-workload cpu-intensive
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Parallelism
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./dbbackup backup cluster --jobs 16 --dump-jobs 16
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- `--jobs` - Compression/decompression parallel jobs
|
||
- `--dump-jobs` - Database dump parallel jobs
|
||
- `--max-cores` - Limit CPU cores (default: 16)
|
||
- Cluster operations use worker pools with configurable parallelism (default: 2 concurrent databases)
|
||
- Set `CLUSTER_PARALLELISM` environment variable to adjust concurrent database operations
|
||
|
||
### CPU Workload
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./dbbackup backup cluster --cpu-workload cpu-intensive
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Options: `cpu-intensive`, `io-intensive`, `balanced` (default)
|
||
|
||
Workload types automatically adjust Jobs and DumpJobs:
|
||
- **Balanced**: Jobs = PhysicalCores, DumpJobs = PhysicalCores/2 (min 2)
|
||
- **CPU-Intensive**: Jobs = PhysicalCores×2, DumpJobs = PhysicalCores (more parallelism)
|
||
- **I/O-Intensive**: Jobs = PhysicalCores/2 (min 1), DumpJobs = 2 (less parallelism to avoid I/O contention)
|
||
|
||
Configure in interactive mode via Configuration Settings menu.
|
||
|
||
### Compression
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./dbbackup backup single mydb --compression 9
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Level 0 = No compression (fastest)
|
||
- Level 6 = Balanced (default)
|
||
- Level 9 = Maximum compression (slowest)
|
||
|
||
### SSL/TLS Configuration
|
||
|
||
SSL modes: `disable`, `prefer`, `require`, `verify-ca`, `verify-full`
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Disable SSL
|
||
./dbbackup backup single mydb --insecure
|
||
|
||
# Require SSL
|
||
./dbbackup backup single mydb --ssl-mode require
|
||
|
||
# Verify certificate
|
||
./dbbackup backup single mydb --ssl-mode verify-full
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Disaster Recovery
|
||
|
||
Complete automated disaster recovery test:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
sudo ./disaster_recovery_test.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This script:
|
||
|
||
1. Backs up entire cluster with maximum performance
|
||
2. Documents pre-backup state
|
||
3. Destroys all user databases (confirmation required)
|
||
4. Restores full cluster from backup
|
||
5. Verifies restoration success
|
||
|
||
**Warning:** Destructive operation. Use only in test environments.
|
||
|
||
## Troubleshooting
|
||
|
||
### Connection Issues
|
||
|
||
**Test connectivity:**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./dbbackup status
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**PostgreSQL peer authentication error:**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
sudo -u postgres ./dbbackup status
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**SSL/TLS issues:**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./dbbackup status --insecure
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Out of Memory
|
||
|
||
**Check memory:**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
free -h
|
||
dmesg | grep -i oom
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Add swap space:**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
sudo fallocate -l 16G /swapfile
|
||
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
|
||
sudo mkswap /swapfile
|
||
sudo swapon /swapfile
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Reduce parallelism:**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./dbbackup backup cluster --jobs 4 --dump-jobs 4
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Debug Mode
|
||
|
||
Enable detailed logging:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./dbbackup backup single mydb --debug
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Common Errors
|
||
|
||
- **"Ident authentication failed"** - Run as matching OS user or configure password authentication
|
||
- **"Permission denied"** - Check database user privileges
|
||
- **"Disk space check failed"** - Ensure 4x archive size available
|
||
- **"Archive validation failed"** - Backup file corrupted or incomplete
|
||
|
||
## Building
|
||
|
||
Build for all platforms:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./build_all.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Binaries created in `bin/` directory.
|
||
|
||
## Requirements
|
||
|
||
### System Requirements
|
||
|
||
- Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD
|
||
- 1 GB RAM minimum (2 GB recommended for large databases)
|
||
- Disk space: 30-50% of database size for backups
|
||
|
||
### Software Requirements
|
||
|
||
**PostgreSQL:**
|
||
- Client tools: psql, pg_dump, pg_dumpall, pg_restore
|
||
- PostgreSQL 10 or later
|
||
|
||
**MySQL/MariaDB:**
|
||
- Client tools: mysql, mysqldump
|
||
- MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+
|
||
|
||
**Optional:**
|
||
- pigz (parallel compression)
|
||
- pv (progress monitoring)
|
||
|
||
## Best Practices
|
||
|
||
1. **Test restores regularly** - Verify backups work before disasters occur
|
||
2. **Monitor disk space** - Maintain 4x archive size free space for restore operations
|
||
3. **Use appropriate compression** - Balance speed and space (level 3-6 for production)
|
||
4. **Leverage configuration persistence** - Use .dbbackup.conf for consistent per-project settings
|
||
5. **Automate backups** - Schedule via cron or systemd timers
|
||
6. **Secure credentials** - Use .pgpass/.my.cnf with 0600 permissions, never save passwords in config files
|
||
7. **Maintain multiple versions** - Keep 7-30 days of backups for point-in-time recovery
|
||
8. **Store backups off-site** - Remote copies protect against site-wide failures
|
||
9. **Validate archives** - Run verification checks on backup files periodically
|
||
10. **Document procedures** - Maintain runbooks for restore operations and disaster recovery
