Repository means the location/path on the server or the cloud where the actual copy of the backup will reside. This attribute helps take the redundant copies of the databases at multiple locations remotely on different servers or locally on the same server. Let’s discuss a few scenarios one by one.

It is a common practice that before a backup can be stored in the cloud or on a dedicated backup server, it has to be prepared first locally and later copied to the destination. The two most popular ones — s3cmd and AWS — are sufficient, and I will show examples using both. zst 2023-02-07T19:33:58.138+0100 writing db2.products

Now that Database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is in high demand, there are multiple questions regarding AWS services that cannot always be answered easily: When should I use Aurora and when should I use RDS MySQL ? What are the differences between Aurora and RDS?

Average cloud server idle time exceeds 70%. For example, you could view underutilized instances in a specific AWS data center or top CO2e emitters within a specific host group.

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory.

If you plan to migrate your database from on-prem servers to RDS (either Aurora or MySQL RDS), you usually don’t have much choice but to do so using logical backups such as mysqldump, mysqlpump, mydumper , or similar. which we don’t recommend as the EOL is October 31, 2023!!) or MariaDB 10.X or MariaDB 10.X

It was a fascinating read, shedding light on leveraging AWS snapshots’ capabilities to avoid initial data copy within the RDS environment. Inspired by David’s insights, I embarked on a journey to explore logical replication from a different perspective – within the realm of on-premises server databases.

Hence, if WAL files are not copied to a safe location—such as a backup server or another file system—it won’t be possible to achieve point-in-time recovery (PITR). Using the above strategy, we can ensure that we store full backups daily.
