Cloud Backup:Precheck MySQL (ECS)

Prerequisites

• The MySQL database is registered in the Cloud Backup console and its status is Online. If the status is not Online, see Register a MySQL database on an ECS instance and FAQ to resolve the issue.

• Supported database versions, operating systems, and backup features have limitations. For example, you cannot back up a MySQL database deployed on Windows. For more information, see Compatibility list and limitations.

Procedure

1. Log on to the Cloud Backup console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Backup > Database Backup. Select a region, and then click MySQL. On the ECS Database Instance tab, find the target MySQL instance and click Precheck in the Actions column.

3. In the Precheck dialog box, click Start Check.

   Click Check Last Pre-check Result to view the results of the previous precheck. The precheck includes the following items:

   Check item	Description
   OSS connectivity check	Checks connectivity from the ECS instance to the internal OSS endpoint through the VPC. If this check fails, you cannot perform backup or recovery operations.
   Control network connectivity check	Checks connectivity from the instance to the control network. If this check fails, you cannot perform any operations on the database instance.
   Support full backup version check	Checks whether the database version supports full backup. The supported database versions, operating systems, and backup features are limited. For example, you cannot back up MySQL databases that are deployed in Windows. For more information, see List of compatible systems and usage limits.
   BINLOG check	Checks whether the binlog for the MySQL instance is configured correctly. If this check fails, the database cannot perform log backups.

   The precheck takes about one minute.

   If a check item fails, follow the on-screen instructions to determine its impact on backup and recovery.

   • If there is no impact, no further action is required.

   • If there is an impact, use the item description to troubleshoot the issue.
