mysqlhotcopy is a perl script that comes with MySQL installation. This locks the table, flush the table and then performs a copy of the database. You can also use the mysqlhotcopy to automatically copy the backup directly to another server using scp.

1. mysqlhotcopy command:

[local-host]# /usr/bin/mysqlhotcopy -u root -p My2Secure$Password sugarcrm /home/backup/database --allowold --keepold

  

The above example, performs a backup of sugarcrm, a MySQL database to the /home/backup/database directory.

  • –allowold: This options renames the old backup to {datbase-name}_old before taking a new backup. In this example, if sugarcrm backup already existing under /home/backup/database, it will move the old backup to /home/backup/database/sugarcrm_old before creating /home/backup/database/sugarcrm.
  • –keepold: This option instructs the mysqlhotcopy to keep the old backup (i.e the renamed _old) after the backup is completed.

View the mysqlhotcopy documentation using perldoc as shown below.

[local-host]# perldoc mysqlhotcopy

  

Following are the available options that can be passed to mysqlhotcopy command.

Option

Description

–addtodest Do not rename target directory (if it exists); merely add files to it
–allowold Do not abort if a target exists; rename it by adding an _old suffix
–checkpoint=db_name.tbl_name Insert checkpoint entries
–chroot=path Base directory of the chroot jail in which mysqld operates
–debug Write a debugging log
–dryrun Report actions without performing them

2. mysqlhotcopy command output:

The above mysqlhotcopy command will display an output similar to the following.

 
[local-host]# /usr/bin/mysqlhotcopy -u root -p My2Secure$Password sugarcrm /home/backup/database --allowold --keepold
Locked 98 tables in 0 seconds.
Flushed tables (`sugarcrm`.`accounts`, `sugarcrm`.`accounts_audit`, `sugarcrm`.`accounts_bugs`) in 0 seconds.
Copying 295 files...
Copying indices for 0 files...
Unlocked tables.
mysqlhotcopy copied 98 tables (295 files) in 0 seconds (0 seconds overall).

  

By default, MySQL database is located under /var/lib/mysql/{db-name}. mysqlhotcopy takes a backup of the table files from this default database location, to the backup directory. The backup directory /home/backup/database/sugarcrm,  will contain exact copy of all the files from the real MySQL database /var/lib/mysql/sugarcrm directory.

[local-host]# ls -1 /var/lib/mysql/sugarcrm | wc -l
295
[local-host]# ls -1 /home/backup/database/sugarcrm | wc -l
295

  

Please note that every table has three corresponding files with the extension *.frm, *.MYD and *.MYI.  The database directory also contains a db.opt file that contains the database related parameter.

In the above example, you can see the mysqlhotcopy takes a backup of 98 sugarcrm database tables. So, the total number of files in the backup directory = 98 tables * 3 + 1 db configuration file = 296 files.

3. Restore from mysqlhotcopy

To restore the backup from the mysqlhotcopy backup, simply copy the files from the backup directory to the /var/lib/mysql/{db-name} directory. Just to be on the safe-side, make sure to stop the mysql before you restore (copy) the files. After you copy the files to the /var/lib/mysql/{db-name} start the mysql again.

4. Troubleshooting mysqlhotcopy

How to resolve Can’t locate DBD/mysql.pm issue? mysqlhotcopy is a perl script and it requires the perl-DBD module. You may receive the following error while executing mysqlhotcopy if perl-DBD module is not installed.

[local-host]# /usr/bin/mysqlhotcopy -u root -p My2Secure$Password sugarcrm /home/backup/database --allowold --keepoldinstall_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at (eval 7) line 3.
Perhaps the DBD::mysql perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'mysql' isn't right.
Available drivers: DBM, ExampleP, File, Proxy, Sponge.
at /usr/bin/mysqlhotcopy line 177

  

Make sure to install the perl-DBD package as shown below.

[local-host]# rpm -ivh perl-DBD-MySQL-3.0007-1.fc6.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:perl-DBD-MySQL ########################################### [100%]

  

How to resolve the issue with perl-DBD installation? While installing the perl-DBD, you may get the following error message.

[local-host]# rpm -ivh perl-DBD-MySQL-3.0007-1.fc6.i386.rpm
rpmdb: Program version 4.3 doesn't match environment version
error: db4 error(-30974) from dbenv->open: DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30974)
warning: cannot open Solve database in /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat
rpmdb: Program version 4.3 doesn't match environment version

libmysqlclient.so.15(libmysqlclient_15) is needed by perl-DBD-MySQL-3.0007-1.fc6.i386

  

Download and install the MySQL-shared-compat from mysql.com and this should resolve the above mentioned error while installing the perl-DBD package.

[local-host]# rpm -ivh MySQL-shared-compat-5.1.25-0.rhel5.i386.rpm
