    PostgreSQL的热备和恢复

    日期:2006-08-07 作者:Seamus Dean 来自:Chinaunix


    为什么要写这篇文章?

    因为我看了一下,国内所有的PostgreSQL教程都没有很详细的介绍该功能,而相反,国内的Oracle文章对这块非常的看重。虽然,PostgreSQL的官方文档有一个章节是介绍这块内容的,但是写得太过‘文学’化。
    的确,一个数据库的可靠性和完整性是非常重要的,否则,很难叫人们所接受它。

    本文假设读者对PostgreSQL已经有基本的认识,如果你对PostgreSQL还完全不熟悉的话,建议你先
    http://www.postgresql.org看看它的
    Documentation.



    作为最强大的开源数据库,PostgreSQL拥有一切商业数据库所拥有的功能,甚至比商业数据库更好。
    在以前的版本中,它在数据恢复,可靠性方面做的不太好,但经过最近几年的发展,已经可以和Oracle
    媲美了。


    在PostgreSQL7的时候就引入了WAL(Write Ahead Logging)的概念,即预写日志,所有对数据库的更改,
    在更改之前必须写到该LOG中,这样,就算机器断电,PostgreSQL也可以从该LOG中知道数据库在断电前做
    了什么操作,已经做到第几步了,这样保证了所有事务的完整性,但PostgreSQL7没有提供很好的灾难恢复
    机制,一旦数据库崩溃,除非你曾经对数据库作过pg_dump或者file system level backup,否则,你的数据
    将全部丢失,并且,就算你曾经对数据库做过备份,也只能恢复到你备份的那一刻的数据,这对一个生产数据库
    (特别是24*7生产库)来说,是无法容忍的。

    PostgreSQL8的推出,使PostgreSQL的稳定性和可靠性又迈出了划时代的一步。
    除了提供对tablespace的支持外,PostgreSQL8提供了支持时间点的恢复---PITR.
    其基本原理和Oracle的热备份完全一样:

    首先,对数据库在file system level做一个backup(PostgreSQL是首先用pg_start_backup('label')命令,
    然后用tar直接tar整个data目录,假设命名为base.tar,然后pg_stop_backup();结束热备。
    Oracle首先是用alter tablespace xxx begin backup,然后直接cp数据文件);

    然后,备份相关的配置文件(PostgreSQL只需备份postgresql.conf,pg_hba.conf,pg_ident.conf就可以了,其实,
    前面的tar已经将这些文件备份了,Oracle需要alter database backup control file......);

    最后,备份WAL(
    可以设置postgresql.conf中的archive_command,
    该命令可以让PostgreSQL8自动将需要的归档的日志文件备份的其他地方中。
    但是注意:如果你是让PostgreSQL8调用archive_command来备份WAL的话,
    可能根本就做不到PITR,我做过实验,如果依靠base.tar和archive_command产生的WAL其实只能恢复到最后一个
    archive_command保存的WAL的数据,pg_xlog/下面可能还有数据,如果PostgreSQL8的数据目录彻底损坏的话,还是会
    丢失数据,所以,我建议,在写数据备份脚本的时候,最好将pg_xlog/下面的WAL也一起备份,见下面的cpArch.sh。
    )。

    如果数据库崩溃,我们就可以使用热备产生的base.tar和archive_command产生的WAL和我们自己备份的WAL(pg_xlog)来进行数据库的
    recovery.

    下面举例来说明:
    我的PostgreSQL运行在:/home/pgsql/下面
    数据目录在:/home/pgsql/database/
    将热备数据文件备份到/disk3/PostgreSQL/base/下面
    将WAL备份到/disk3/PostgreSQL/archives/下面

    postgresql.conf中定义了如下的archive_command:
    archive_command = 'cp -f %p /disk3/PostgreSQL/archives/%f'
    该命令会将PostgreSQL产生的WAL cp到/disk3/PostgreSQL/archives/中。

    我的热备脚本如下:

    (1)为了使丢失的数据在一分钟之内,在crontab中每分钟将pg_xlog/下面的WAL
    backup到/disk3/PostgreSQL/archives/。

    crontab:
    */1 * * * * /home/pgsql/bin/cpArch.sh

    cpArch.sh:
    #!/bin/sh

    cp -f /home/pgsql/database/pg_xlog/[0-9]* /disk3/PostgreSQL/archives/



    (2)编写热备脚本 hotBackup.pl (我用perl):
    #!/usr/bin/perl

    #############################################################
    # hotBackup.pl
    # Use to hot backup the PostgreSQL database.
    # Author:Seamus Dean
    # Date:2005-04-11
    ##############################################################

    my($datadir) ="/home/pgsql/database";
    my($bindir) ="/home/pgsql/bin";
    my($backupdir) ="/disk3/PostgreSQL/base";
    my($receiver) ="
    ljh13\@sina.com.cn";

    sub begin_backup()
    {
        open(PSQL,"|$bindir/psql") or mail_user("begin backup error.") && exit(100);
        print PSQL "select pg_start_backup('backupnow');\n";
        close(PSQL);
    }

    sub end_backup()
    {
        open(PSQL,"|$bindir/psql") or mail_user("end backup error.") && exit(100);
        print PSQL "select pg_end_backup();\n";
        close(PSQL);
    }


    sub do_backup()
    {
        system("/bin/tar cvf base.tar $datadir");
        system("/bin/mv -f base.tar $backupdir/");
    }


    sub mail_user()
    {
        my($msg) =@_;
        open(MAIL,"|/bin/mail -s backup-result $receiver") or die("can not talk to:mail command.\n");
        print MAIL $msg;
        close(MAIL);
    }

    ###################################
    # tell psql begin our backup
    ###################################
    &begin_backup();

    ###################################
    # do tar
    ###################################
    &do_backup();

    ####################################
    # tell psql end backup
    ####################################
    &end_backup();

    ####################################
    # mail the user about the result
    ####################################
    &mail_user("PostgreSQL backup successfully.");


    到这里,备份脚本基本上就完了,你可以将hotBackup.pl放在crontab中周期性的执行。

    就算/home/pgsql/database目录彻底崩溃,我们可以像下面这样迅速恢复到1分钟内的数据:
    #cp /disk3/PostgreSQL/base/base.tar ./
    #tar xvf base.tar
    #cd database/
    #vi recovery.conf

    输入如下内容:
    restore_command='cp /disk3/PostgreSQL/archives/%f "%p"'

    然后将/home/pgsql/database/pg_xlog/下面的WAL清空。

    启动PostgreSQL,我们可以看到如下的LOG信息:
    LOG: could not create IPv6 socket: Address family not supported by protocol
    LOG: database system was interrupted at 2005-04-11 23:13:28 PDT

    LOG: restored log file "00000001000000000000004B" from archive
    LOG: restored log file "00000001000000000000004C" from archive
    LOG: record with zero length at 0/4C2BABE4
    LOG: redo done at 0/4C2BABA8
    LOG: restored log file "00000001000000000000004C" from archive
    LOG: archive recovery complete
    LOG: database system is ready


    显示数据已经成功恢复。
    /home/pgsql/database/下面的recovery.conf会变为:recovery.done.


    结论:
    PostgreSQL8的PITR已经做得非常的成功,完全有可能替代Oracle,Sqlserver
    而成为企业的首选。所以,我们玩PostgreSQL的兄弟们,一定要对它有信心!
