Backup:
To make a full backup, run the BACKUP DATABASE command. First, specify the name of the database to back up, followed by the directory on the disk where the backup will reside.
The following example makes a backup of test database and stores it in the /tmp/backup directory.
BACKUP database test TO "/tmp/backup";The backup event can be checked using MV_EVENTS.
Backup can be validated using validate backup:
sdb-admin validate-backup
It can also be verified with the view information_schema.MV_BACKUP_HISTORY this table stores information about backups that have been made.
Example - this query shows the last successful backup:
SELECT backup_id, database_name, backup_path, lockfree_timestamp FROM information_schema.mv_backup_history WHERE status = 'Success' AND implementation = 'Lockfree' ORDER BY backup_id;
