This is the README file for MTK-MYB-CNC, MTK-MYB CNC implementation.
MTK-MYB-CNC provides the MTK-MYB CNC implementation.
This allows a single host to backup any number of mysql servers on the local network without having to maintain instances of a backup script on these hosts. It only requires a single host to be configured and maintained. The hosts being backed up only need curl installed and they must be configured to allow password less ssh access from the central backup instance.
The central host uses pure-ftpd to retrieve the backups from the remote hosts. It connects to them via SSH and issues a mysqldump command for each of the tables. The output from mysqldump is then compressed on the fly and directly fed to STDIN of curl. So no data is written to disk on the hosts being backed up. This is usually the fastest and most convenient way to take backups from the backup hosts.
The backup hosts will be locked during the time of the backup, so these should be replication slaves of a mysql master.
This package uses Dist::Zilla.
