Example Configuration

All databases on host1.company.com needs to be backed up in raw mode
2 databases (db1 and db2) on host2.company.com needs to be backed up in logical mode
Compression is needed to be done on all backups
Backup will be done using the MySQL database user mysql on both machines

To take care of the above needs we will create two backup sets

We will also have a global configuration file for parameters common to both backup sets.

The global configuration file is /etc/mysql-zrm/mysql-zrm.conf and will contain the following information

compress=1
user=mysql
password=abcd123

This backup set file is /etc/mysql-zrm/host_1_backup_set/mysql-zrm.conf and will contain the following information

backup-mode=raw

This backup set file is /etc/mysql-zrm/host_2_backup_set/mysql-zrm.conf and will contain the following information

host=host2.company.com
backup-mode=logical
databases="db1 db2"
copy-plugin="/usr/share/mysql-zrm/plugins/ssh-plugin.pl
