Table: oci_mysql_backup - Query OCI MySQL Backups using SQL

MySQL Backups in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are automated or manual backups of your MySQL DB System. These backups are stored in OCI Object Storage and are used to restore a DB System to a specific point in time. The backup data includes the data volume and the system volume.

Table Usage Guide

The oci_mysql_backup table provides insights into MySQL backups within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). As a DBA or DevOps engineer, explore backup-specific details through this table, including backup type, lifecycle state, and associated metadata. Utilize it to uncover information about backups, such as those with specific creation and expiry times, the DB system associated with the backup, and the verification of backup configurations.

Examples

Basic info

Analyze your MySQL backups in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to understand their current lifecycle state, backup type, and MySQL version. This can help manage backups more efficiently and ensure they're configured correctly for your needs.

select
  display_name,
  id,
  description,
  lifecycle_state as state,
  backup_type,
  mysql_version
from
  oci_mysql_backup;

select
  display_name,
  id,
  description,
  lifecycle_state as state,
  backup_type,
  mysql_version
from
  oci_mysql_backup;

List manual backups

Explore which MySQL backups have been manually created. This is useful for understanding how many backups have been created by user intervention, which can help in managing resources and planning future automated backups.

select
  display_name,
  id,
  creation_type
from
  oci_mysql_backup
where
  creation_type = 'MANUAL';

select
  display_name,
  id,
  creation_type
from
  oci_mysql_backup
where
  creation_type = 'MANUAL';

List backups with retention days less than 90 days

Determine areas in which backups have a retention period of less than 90 days. This can be useful for identifying potential vulnerabilities or non-compliance with data retention policies.

select
  display_name,
  id,
  retention_in_days
from
  oci_mysql_backup
where
  retention_in_days < 90;

select
  display_name,
  id,
  retention_in_days
from
  oci_mysql_backup
where
  retention_in_days < 90;

Count of backups per DB system

Explore the frequency of backups for each database system to understand how often data protection measures are being implemented. This can help in assessing the robustness of your data recovery strategy.

select
  db_system_id,
  count(*) as backup_count
from
  oci_mysql_backup
group by
  db_system_id;

select
  db_system_id,
  count(*) as backup_count
from
  oci_mysql_backup
group by
  db_system_id;

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- oci

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_oci --config '<your_config>' oci_mysql_backup
