In this blog, I’ll look at how to do MySQL point in time recovery (PITR) correctly.
Sometimes we need to restore from a backup, and then replay the transactions that happened after the backup was taken. This is a common procedure in most disaster recovery plans, when for example you accidentally drop a table/database or run an update/delete without the “where” clause and lose data.
The usual way is to get a copy of your binlogs and use mysqlbinlog to replay those transactions. But this approach has many pitfalls that can make the whole PITR process a nightmare. Some examples:
- You need to make sure to run a single mysqlbinlog command with all related binlogs, and pipe them to mysql at once. Otherwise, if binlog.000001 creates a temporary table, and binlog.000002 requires that temporary table, it will not be present. Each execution of MySQL creates a new connection:
Shell
|
1 2 |
shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 | mysql -u root -p # Creates tmp table X shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000002 | mysql -u root -p # Uses tmp table X |
- We can say that it has to be an atomic operation. If it fails halfway through, it will be very difficult to know where it failed and even more difficult to resume from that point forward. There are many reasons for it to fail: InnoDB lock wait timeout / deadlock with some concurrent transaction, server and client have differentmax_allowed_packet and you get a
Lost connection to MySQL server during queryerror, and so on.
So how can we overcome those limitations and have a reliable way to do Point In Time Recovery?
We can restore the backup on the desired server, build a second server with just the minimal MySQL required data and move the all binary logs to this “fake” server datadir. Then we need to configure the server where we want the PITR to happen as a slave of the fake server. From this point forward, it’s going to be pure MySQL replication happening.
To illustrate it, I create a Docker container on the machine. I have Percona Server for MySQL running on the box listening on 3306, and have already restored the backup on it. There is a tarball there with all binlogs required. The saved positions for PITR are as follows:
Shell
|
1 2 |
[root@localhost ~]# cat /var/lib/mysql/xtrabackup_binlog_info master-bin.000007 1518932 |
I create a folder to store the Docker MySQL datadir:
Shell
|
1 2 |
mkdir /tmp/pitr chown -R 1001 /tmp/pitr |
I start the Docker container. As we can see from xtrabackup_binlog_info, my binlogs are named master-bin and I’ll be setting the same server-id as original master:
Shell
|
1 2 3 4 |
docker run --name ps_pitr -v /tmp/pitr:/var/lib/mysql -p 3307:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=secret -d percona/percona-server:5.7.18 --log_bin=master-bin --server-id=10 |
In case you want to make usage of GTID, append --gtid-mode=ON --enforce_gtid_consistency=ON to the end of the Docker command.
The command above starts a MySQL instance, invokes mysqld –initialize, sets the root password to secret and it’s port 3306 is mapped back to my local 3307 port. Now I’ll stop it, remove the binlogs that it created, uncompress and move all required binlogs to its datadir mapped folder and start it again:
Shell
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
docker stop ps_pitr rm /tmp/pitr/master-bin.* tar -zxf binlogs.tgz -C /tmp/pitr chown -R 1001 /tmp/pitr/master-bin.* docker start ps_pitr |
If it all worked correctly, at this point we can see the full list of binary logs on the Docker container by connecting on port 3307:
Shell
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
mysql -u root -psecret -P 3307 --protocol=TCP -e "SHOW BINARY LOGS" mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure. +-------------------+-----------+ | Log_name | File_size | +-------------------+-----------+ | master-bin.000005 | 26216208 | | master-bin.000006 | 26214614 | | master-bin.000007 | 26214902 | . . . | master-bin.000074 | 154 | +-------------------+-----------+ |
Now, all we need to do is connect to our server, which has the backup restored, and configure it as a slave from 3307:
Shell
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 |

If you want to apply logs up to a particular time you can make use of mysqlbinlog to verify what the last position / GTID it should apply, and use START SLAVE UNTIL MASTER_LOG_FILE = ‘log_name‘, MASTER_LOG_POS = log_pos or START SLAVE SQL_THREAD UNTIL SQL_AFTER_GTIDS = 3E11FA47-71CA-11E1-9E33-C80AA9429562:11-56.
