MyDumper is a MySQL Logical Backup Tool. It has 2 tools:
mydumperwhich is responsible to export a consistent backup of MySQL databasesmyloaderreads the backup from mydumper, connects the to destination database and imports the backup.
Both tools use multithreading capabilities.
MyDumper is Open Source and maintained by the community, it is not a Percona, MariaDB or MySQL product.
- Parallelism (hence, speed) and performance (avoids expensive character set conversion routines, efficient code overall)
- Easier to manage output (separate files for tables, dump metadata, etc, easy to view/parse data)
- Consistency - maintains snapshot across all threads, provides accurate master and slave log positions, etc
- Manageability - supports PCRE for specifying database and tables inclusions and exclusions
First get the correct url from the releases section then:
release=$(curl -Ls -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://github.com/mydumper/mydumper/releases/latest | cut -d'/' -f8)
yum install https://github.com/mydumper/mydumper/releases/download/${release}/mydumper-${release:1}.el7.x86_64.rpm
yum install https://github.com/mydumper/mydumper/releases/download/${release}/mydumper-${release:1}.el8.x86_64.rpmFor ubuntu, you need to install the dependencies:
apt-get install libatomic1Then you can download and install the package:
release=$(curl -Ls -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://github.com/mydumper/mydumper/releases/latest | cut -d'/' -f8)
wget https://github.com/mydumper/mydumper/releases/download/${release}/mydumper_${release:1}.$(lsb_release -cs)_amd64.deb
dpkg -i mydumper_${release:1}.$(lsb_release -cs)_amd64.debBy using pkg
pkg install mydumperor from ports
cd /usr/ports/databases/mydumper && make installBy using Homebrew
brew install mydumper- Ubuntu or Debian:

apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev - Fedora, RedHat and CentOS:
yum install -y mysql-devel
yum install -y Percona-Server-devel-57
yum install -y mariadb-develCentOS 7 comes by default with MariaDB 5.5 libraries which are very old. It might be better to download a newer version of these libraries (MariaDB, MySQL, Percona etc).
- openSUSE:
zypper install libmysqlclient-devel- MacOSX: port install mysql5 (You may want to run 'port select mysql mysql5' afterwards)
Run:
cmake .
makeOne has to make sure, that pkg-config, mysql_config, pcre-config are all in $PATH
Binlog dump is disabled by default to compile with it you need to add -DWITH_BINLOG=ON to cmake options
To build against mysql libs < 5.7 you need to disable SSL adding -DWITH_SSL=OFF
You can build the Docker image either from local sources or directly from Github sources with the provided Dockerfile.
docker build --build-arg CMAKE_ARGS='-DWITH_ZSTD=ON' -t mydumper github.com/mydumper/mydumperKeep in mind that the main purpose the Dockerfile addresses is development and build from source locally. It might not be optimal for distribution purposes, but can also work as a quick build and run solution with the above one-liner, though.
See Usage
This is all done following best MySQL practices and traditions:
- As a precaution, slow running queries on the server either abort the dump, or get killed
- Global read lock is acquired ("FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK")
- Various metadata is read ("SHOW SLAVE STATUS","SHOW MASTER STATUS")
- Other threads connect and establish snapshots ("START TRANSACTION WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT") ** On pre-4.1.8 it creates dummy InnoDB table, and reads from it.
- Once all worker threads announce the snapshot establishment, master executes "UNLOCK TABLES" and starts queueing jobs.
This for now does not provide consistent snapshots for non-transactional engines - support for that is expected in 0.2 :)
Once can use --regex functionality, for example not to dump mysql and test databases:
mydumper --regex '^(?!(mysql\.|test\.))'To dump only mysql and test databases:
mydumper --regex '^(mysql\.|test\.)'To not dump all databases starting with test:
mydumper --regex '^(?!(test))'To dump specify tables in different databases (Note: The name of tables should end with $. related issue):
mydumper --regex '^(db1\.table1$|db2\.table2$)'If you want to dump a couple of databases but discard some tables, you can do:
mydumper --regex '^(?=(?:(db1\.|db2\.)))(?!(?:(db1\.table1$|db2\.table2$)))'Which will dump all the tables in db1 and db2 but it will exclude db1.table1 and db2.table2
Of course, regex functionality can be used to describe pretty much any list of tables.
You can execute external commands with --exec like this:
mydumper --exec "/usr/bin/gzip FILENAME"--exec is single threaded, similar implementation than Stream. The exec program must be an absolute path. FILENAME will be replaced by the filename that you want to be processed. You can set FILENAME in any place as argument.
The default file (aka: --defaults-file parameter) is starting to be more important in MyDumper
