TDSQL-C for MySQL supports several types of backups to ensure data security and recovery capabilities. These include:
Full Backup: This involves backing up all the data in the database at a specific point in time. It's a comprehensive backup method that captures the entire state of the database.
Example: Taking a full backup of a MySQL database every Sunday night.
Incremental Backup: This type of backup captures only the changes made since the last backup, whether it was a full or incremental backup. This method reduces the time and storage space required for backups.
Example: Taking an incremental backup every night after the full backup on Sunday.
Differential Backup: Similar to incremental backups, differential backups capture all the changes made since the last full backup. However, unlike incremental backups, each differential backup contains all the changes since the last full backup, not just the changes since the previous backup.
Example: Taking a differential backup every night after the full backup on Sunday.
TDSQL-C for MySQL leverages these backup types to provide a robust and flexible backup strategy, allowing users to choose the method that best suits their data protection and recovery needs.
