Overview

Performing regular backups of your up.time DataStore is a highly recommended practice. The DataStore is the up.time backbone and holds all configuration information and historical performance data. This article outlines five common methods for backing up your DataStore.

Info
titleNote
These backup methods are intended for a single Monitoring Station. Never attempt to merge two or more Monitoring Station configurations in a single database.

...

...

Option 1: Creating a tar or zip Archive

...

Exporting Your Entire DataStore 

Code Block
mysql/bin/mysqldump --single-transaction -uuptime -puptime -P3308 --protocol=TCP uptime > mybackup.sql
Note
titleNote
The [dbname] variable may be uptime_v4 if your database was created in up.time 4.

...

Code Block
prexport [-p] [-cN]
Options:
-p to dump last hour of data
-c dump historical configuration; N is number of months defaults to 3 months

Alternatively, here are the configuration tables: 

Code Block
mysql/bin/mysqldump -uuptime -puptime -P3308 --protocol=tcp
--ignore-table=uptime.erdc_decimal_data 
--ignore-table=uptime.erdc_int_data 
--ignore-table=uptime.erdc_string_data 
--ignore-table=uptime.ranged_object_value 
--ignore-table=uptime.performance_aggregate 
--ignore-table=uptime.performance_cpu 
--ignore-table=uptime.performance_disk 
--ignore-table=uptime.performance_esx3_workload 
--ignore-table=uptime.performance_fscap 
--ignore-table=uptime.performance_lpar_workload 
--ignore-table=uptime.performance_network 
--ignore-table=uptime.performance_nrm 
--ignore-table=uptime.performance_psinfo 
--ignore-table=uptime.performance_sample 
--ignore-table=uptime.performance_vxvol 
--ignore-table=uptime.performance_who
--ignore-table=uptime.archive_delenda 
uptime > mybackup.sql

Exporting Only Your Historical Performance Data

...

Note
Before importing data, you must stop the up.time services (see steps outlined in the Creating a tar or zip Archive section).

...

To import your backup data, run the following command:

...

Code Block
resetdb really --nodata

 

...

...

Option 3: MySQL Replication

...

...

Option 4: Oracle Data Pump
