You can configure MySQL protection using the following environment variables:

  • (optional) PATH - Add MySQL bin path to this environment variable for running queries and connecting to databases.

  • (optional) LIB_MYSQL_CLIENT_<port> - This environment variable is used for MySQL multi-instance deployment.

    • For Windows set this environment variable to provide the location of libmysql.dll library.

    • For Linux set this environment variable to provide the location of libmysqlclient.so library.

  • (optional) MYSQL_SOCKFILE_<port> - This environment variable is used for MySQL multi-instance deployment. For Linux set this environment variable to provide the location of respective instances mysql.sock file.

  • (optional) MYSQL_BACKUP_DUMP_DIRECTORY - Set this environment variable as temporary backup dump directory for non streaming backup. For example, for Linux, user can set this environment variable to required location using below command:

    echo "export MYSQL_BACKUP_DUMP_DIRECTORY=/home/custom_dump_dir_location/" > > ~/.bashrc

    For Windows, user can create new environment variable and add path of folder location as below:

    MYSQL_BACKUP_DUMP_DIRECTORY=C:\custom_dump_dir_location

  • (optional) LVM SNAPSHOT_SIZE - Set this environment variable to provide the snapshot size for LVM backup for Linux operating system only. You can set environment variable of LVM Snapshot size to 500 MB using below command:

    echo "export LVM_SNAPSHOT_SIZE=500MB" >> ~/.bashrc

    Note:

    The default snapshot size is set to 500MB.
