本文写道最后的时候，我才发现ZRM for MySQL的一个致命问题，就我目前的理解和测试来看，它恢复数据的时候是采取覆盖的方式，举个例子，假定某台数据库服务器上有两个数据库test1,test2，你备份了这两个数据库，某一天，test2数据库里的某一个表坏了，那么它无法做到仅仅只是恢复损坏的表，甚至无法做到仅仅恢复test2，而是直接把test1,test2都恢复。那这绝对是一个噩梦。
但愿我目前的理解是错误的，只是我实在找不到控制恢复粒度的地方。下面的文字就当闲着无聊看看吧。
Zmanda Recovery Manager(ZRM)提供了备份MySQL数据库的能力，并且支持两种备份模式：逻辑备份和裸备份，有关详细的介绍，可以看官方的介绍。下面给出一个备份的实例。
先介绍备份的环境，如果大家看过之前的那篇Amanda集中备份实例，那么大概就知道是什么样的一个网络架构了，承接上文，这里备份服务器还是cp1.domain.com，MySQL数据库分别运行在cp2.domain.com和cp3.domain.com上，需要备份其所有的数据库。
一、服务端的安装和配置
首先从官方站点下载对应系统的服务端程序，然后安装。注意：服务端与perl-DBI,MySQL-client程序库有依赖关系，安装之前先安装这个两个包。
安装完后,/etc/mysql-zrm/是其配置文件的所在地。/etc/mysql-zrm/目录下有一个mysql-zrm.conf文件，这是最重要的配置文件。在/etc/mysql-zrm/目录下，你可以创建一些目录，每一个目录就是一个备份集的名称，我这里为了直观，采取了主机名的方式来创建备份集
mkdir /etc/mysql-zrm/{cp2.domain.com,cp3.domain.com}
cp /etc/mysql-zrm/{mysql-zrm.conf,cp2.domain.com/,cp3.domain.com/}
/etc/mysql-zrm/mysql-zrm.conf可以做为全局配置文件，针对每一台需要备份的数据库的不同，可以在备份集目录里的mysql-zrm.conf再定义，这里的定义可以覆盖全局定义。
首先，我们把一些全局定义信息配置在/etc/mysql-zrm/mysql-zrm.conf文件里
#cat /etc/mysql-zrm/mysql-zrm.conf backup-level=0 backup-mode=logical backup-type=regular destination=/yourpath/db compress=1 compress-plugin=/bin/gzip encrypt=1 encrypt-plugin="/usr/share/mysql-zrm/plugins/encrypt.pl" decrypt-option="-d" all-databases=1 user="backup-user" password="securepassword" mailto="your＠domain.com"
上面的配置信息应该比较直观。
然后配置每一台MySQL服务器的一些特有参数
#cat /etc/mysql-zrm/cp2.domain.com/mysql-zrm.conf host="cp2.domain.com" destination=/yourpath/db #cat /etc/mysql-zrm/cp3.domain.com/mysql-zrm.conf host="cp3.domain.com" destination=/yourpath/db
创建加密的密码文件
[root@cp1:~# touch /etc/mysql-zrm/.passphrase [root@cp1:~# echo encryptpass > /etc/mysql-zrm/.passphrase [root@cp1:~# chmod 700 /etc/mysql-zrm/.passphrase
二、配置客户端
这里有两台机器，cp2和cp3，因为我们备份的类型一样，所以cp2的配置过程和cp3的配置过程一样，这里只描述cp2的配置过程
1.登录cp2服务器
2.用MySQL的管理员帐号（一般是root）登录MySQL数据库
mysql -uroot -p Enter password: Welcome TO the MySQL monitor. Commands end WITH ; OR g. Your MySQL connection id IS 38208 Server version: 5.0.45-log Source distribution Type 'help;' OR 'h' FOR help. Type 'c' TO clear the buffer. mysql>
3.创建一个用户备份的帐号并授予一定的权限,帐号的定义在备份服务器的/etc/mysql-zrm/mysql-zrm.conf文件里有定义，这里帐号是backup-user，密码是securepassword
mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, CREATE, DROP, reload, shutdown,
-> ALTER, super, LOCK TABLES, replication client ON *.* TO
-> 'backup-user'@'cp1.domain.com' IDENTIFIED BY 'securepassword';
提示：如果你需要备份的数据库不是全部，那么在授权的时候，最好是指定，而不是上面的*.*方式，安全为主！
三、测试备份
配置还是比较简单的，现在我们开始测试。
首先的用root帐号登录cp1机器，然后执行下面的指令：
root@cp1:/etc/mysql-zrm# mysql-zrm --action backup --backup-level 0 --backup-set cp3.domain.com backup:INFO: ZRM for MySQL Community Edition - version 2.1 cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: START OF BACKUP cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE START: Initialization cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: The quick backup-type is supported only for snapshot backups. Setting backup-type to 'regular' cp3.domain.com:backup:WARNING: Binary logging is off. cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: backup-set=cp3.domain.com cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: backup-date=20090415180321 cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: mysql-server-os=Linux/Unix cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: backup-type=regular cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: host=cp3.3yidc.cn cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: backup-date-epoch=1239789801 cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: mysql-zrm-version=ZRM for MySQL Community Edition - version 2.1 cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: mysql-version=5.0.45 cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: backup-directory=/yourpath/db/cp3.domain.com/20090415180321 cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: backup-level=0 cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: backup-mode=logical cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE END: Initialization cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE START: Running pre backup plugin cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE END: Running pre backup plugin cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE START: Flushing logs cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE END: Flushing logs cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE START: Creating logical backup cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: logical-databases=apachelogs dtc fireyang hnnoritz mysql s567 wordpress cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE END: Creating logical backup cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE START: Calculating backup size & checksums cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: last-backup=/csdata/backup/db/cp3.domain.com/20090415180226 cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: backup-size=4.04 MB cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE END: Calculating backup size & checksums cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE START: Compression/Encryption cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: compress=/bin/gzip cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: encrypt=/usr/share/mysql-zrm/plugins/encrypt.pl cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: decrypt-option=-d cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: backup-size-compressed=0.46 MB cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE END: Compression/Encryption cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: read-locks-time=00:00:02 cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: flush-logs-time=00:00:00 cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: compress-encrypt-time=00:00:02 cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: backup-time=00:00:02 cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: backup-status=Backup succeeded cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: Backup succeeded cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE START: Running post backup plugin cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE END: Running post backup plugin cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE START: Mailing backup report cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE END: Mailing backup report cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE START: Cleanup cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: PHASE END: Cleanup cp3.domain.com:backup:INFO: END OF BACKUP
以上是备份cp3.domain.com的数据库，用同样的指令可以备份cp2.domain.com数据库。
4、检验
如果上述备份过程没有报错，那么接下来就要看看备份的数据是不是有效了。在cp1机器上执行下面的指令
root@cp1:~# mysql-zrm --action verify-backup --backup-set cp3.domain.com verify-backup:INFO: ZRM for MySQL Community Edition - version 2.1 cp3.domain.com:verify-backup:INFO: Verification successful root@cp1:~# mysql-zrm --action verify-backup --backup-set cp2.domain.com verify-backup:INFO: ZRM for MySQL Community Edition - version 2.1 cp2.domain.com:verify-backup:INFO: Verification successful
校验都没有报错，我们还可以看看备份的性能，备份的详细信息等，更多的使用方式，可以查看mysql-zrm(1)
root@cp1:~# mysql-zrm --action report --show backup-performance-info
REPORT TYPE : backup-performance-info

}

五、恢复
假定cp2服务器上的数据库ehcpbackup20090403170240丢失了（这里是我人工删除了这个库），我们看看如何从备份里恢复。
1.登录cp1机器
2.执行下面的命令，看看cp2机器上的数据库现在备份在哪里(为了显示直观，输出结果有处理）
root@cp1:~# mysql-zrm-reporter --show restore-info --where backup-set=cp2.domain.com REPORT TYPE : restore-info backup_set backup_date backup_level backup_directory ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ cp3.domain.com 15/4 2009 0 /yourpath/db/cp2.domain.com/20090415171957
3.然后执行真正的备份指令：
root@cp1:~#mysql-zrm --action restore --backup-set cp2.domain.com --source-directory > /yourpath/db/cp2.domain.com/20090415171957 INFO: ZRM for MySQL Enteprise Edition - version 1.1 WARNING: Binary logging is off. Incremental backups cannot be done. INFO: Restore done in 169 seconds. MySQL server has been shutdown. Please restart after verification.
4.重启cp2机器上的MySQL服务。
到此恢复完成。
