The MySQL database server performs a nightly mysqldump for backup purposes. These dump files are then backed up to tape by the TSM Backup that runs on each VM. If you find you need to go back to a previous MySQL backup dump file, please contact webservices@cornell.edu and provide the following info:
- VM Name that the mysql server is running on (webhost###.serverfarm.cornell.edu)
- Date of the backup you need
- Any additional info (table names, etc) that will be helpful or needed. DO NOT send database credentials via email to webservices! Webservices will contact you if the username/password is needed.
Advanced MySQL Support
Additional MySQL support can be provided from the CIT Database group for a fee. If you'd like info on XXXX, or need additional support, please email dba-support@cornell.edu.
