Create full or split partitions backup for one or more databases to a specified repository.

Usage

Create full or split partitions backup for one or more databases to a specified repository.
This command runs BACKUP DATABASE on the Master Aggregator with automatically configured options based on the specified backup repository.

All of the sdb-admin backup commands take the '--repository' flag which is a concise pointer to a location storing all of the backups. The format used in this flag is based on the URL spec and has the following components:
  {protocol}://{path}[?{options}]
The protocol determines which options are supported and how the path is interpreted.
Supported protocols are: file, s3, and azure.
Split backup can be created only if all nodes in the cluster run SingleStoreDB 7.1.0 or a later version.

Examples:

sdb-admin create-backup --repository "s3://foo/bar?region=eu-central-1" database_1 database_2

sdb-admin create-backup database_1 -r azure://foo/bar database_2

sdb-admin create-backup -r file:///nfs db1

sdb-admin create-backup -r "s3://foo/bar?region=eu-central-1" database_1

sdb-admin create-backup -r "s3://foo/bar?region=eu-central-1" database_1 --backup-type split

# Create initial incremental backup database_1_week_1
sdb-admin create-backup -r "s3://foo/bar?region=eu-central-1" database_1 --backup-type init --backup-suffix week_1

# Create differential backup database_1_week_1
sdb-admin create-backup -r "s3://foo/bar?region=eu-central-1" database_1 --backup-type differential --backup-suffix week_1

Usage:
  sdb-admin create-backup DATABASE_NAME... [flags]

Flags:
      --backup-suffix string                            Suffix of incremental backup names. The suffix identifies each logical incremental backup and should be the same for the initial and the differential versions of an incremental backup

  -r, --repository STRING                               Path to the repository in the URL format. See https://docs.singlestore.com/toolbox-redir/memsql-backup-repository for examples
      --timeout duration                                Maximum time to wait for backup to be created (e.g., 30s, 10m, 1.5h); defaults to 24 hours (default 24h0m0s)

      --disable-colors                        Disable color output in console, which some terminal sessions/environments may have difficulty with

      --runtime-dir DIRECTORY_PATH            Where to store Toolbox runtime data
      --ssh-control-persist SECONDS           Enable SSH ControlPersist and set it to the specified duration in seconds
      --ssh-max-sessions POSITIVE_INTEGER     Maximum number of SSH sessions to open per host, must be at least 3
      --ssh-strict-host-key-checking          Enable strict host key checking for SSH connections
      --ssh-user-known-hosts-file FILE_PATH   Path to the user known_hosts file for SSH connections. If not set, /dev/null will be used
      --state-file FILE_PATH                  Toolbox state file path
  -v, --verbosity count                       Increase logging verbosity: valid values are 1, 2, 3. Usage -v=count or --verbosity=count
  -y, --yes                                   Enable non-interactive mode and assume the user would like to move forward with the proposed actions by default
