Because JE replication causes a current copy of your
|
||
environment to be available at every data node in the group, the need
|
||
for frequent backups is greatly reduced. Basically, every time a
|
||
change is made on the Master, that change is backed up to every
|
||
Replica node currently running. The result is that for each write
|
||
operation you get a real-time incremental backup to
|
||
<span class="emphasis"><em>n-1</em></span> nodes, where <span class="emphasis"><em>n</em></span> are
|
||
the total number of data nodes (including the Master) currently
|
||
running in your replication group.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For this reason, JE does not currently support formal
|
||
incremental backups of replicated environments. An application
|
||
based upon the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbBackup.html" target="_top">DbBackup</a> utility class can be written to allow
|
||
administrators to create full backups. This is useful for
|
||
creating a backup to be stored on offline media, if your data
|
||
strategy calls for that level of protection.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Remember that when performing a full backup, you should obtain
|
||
the backup from a node that is current. Either use the Master
|
||
node itself, or use a Replica node that must acknowledge a
|
||
transaction commit before the commit operation can complete on
|
||
the Master.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Note that <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbBackup.html" target="_top">DbBackup</a> has some functionality that
|
||
is specifically useful for replicated environments. See
|
||
<a class="xref" href="dbbackup.html" title="Backing up a Replicated Application">Backing up a Replicated Application</a>
|
||
for details.
