Whether you need to recover from an unexpected outage or data corruption, MariaDB provides the tools to restore your database quickly and efficiently.
Key capabilities
Flexible backup and restore
Utilize robust backup and restore functionalities to safeguard your data and ensure recoverability.
Flashback
Quickly rewind to a specific point in time to recover from accidental data changes or corruption.
System versioning
Maintain historical versions of your database for auditing, compliance and recovery purposes.
Multi-data center support
Deploy across multiple data centers for enhanced disaster recovery and geographic redundancy.
Comprehensive Disaster Recovery
Tools and Capabilities for Every Scenario
MariaDB Enterprise Platform provides a complete suite of disaster recovery tools and capabilities to safeguard your data and ensure business continuity, no matter the situation.
MariaDB Enterprise Backup
Perform efficient and non-blocking backups of your entire database or individual tables, utilizing full and incremental backups to minimize downtime and data loss.
MariaDB flashback
Quickly recover from accidental data deletion or modification by rolling back transactions to a specific point in time, offering faster recovery than traditional backups.
Point-in-time recovery
Restore your database to a precise point in time using a combination of backups and binary logs, ensuring granular recovery and minimal data loss.
Delayed replication
Protect against accidental or malicious data changes by utilizing delayed replication, allowing you to promote a replica with unaffected data while addressing the issue on the primary database.
System-versioned tables
Maintain historical versions of your data with system-versioned tables, enabling you to restore previous data states and meet auditing or compliance requirements.
Multi-data center and cloud support
Deploy MariaDB across multiple data centers or cloud environments using asynchronous replication, multi-master clustering, or a combination of approaches to ensure geographic redundancy and disaster recovery capabilities.
With MariaDB’s comprehensive disaster recovery toolkit, you can confidently protect your data and maintain business operations even in the face of unexpected events.
Architecture for Enterprise-Grade Disaster Recovery with MariaDB
Designing an effective disaster recovery architecture involves careful consideration of your recovery point objective (RPO), recovery time objective (RTO) and specific business and application requirements. The reference architecture below demonstrates a robust approach using MariaDB Enterprise Platform features:
Primary Data Center: Clustering for High Availability
- High availability: Clustering ensures continuous availability within the primary data center.
- Read scaling: Read/write splitting distributes read traffic across multiple nodes for optimal performance.
- Data protection: Dedicated databases with delayed replication provide backups and system versioning for comprehensive data protection.
Secondary Data Center: Asynchronous Replication for Performance
- Disaster recovery: Asynchronous replication to the secondary data center ensures data redundancy and recovery capabilities in case of a primary data center outage.
- Cost-efficiency: A scaled-down deployment with a primary/replica topology and system versioning optimizes resource utilization in the secondary data center.
- Rapid recovery: The secondary data center can be quickly promoted to primary in case of a disaster, minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity.
This architecture provides a balance of high availability, performance and data protection while optimizing costs and ensuring rapid recovery in the event of a disaster. MariaDB’s flexible deployment options and comprehensive feature set allow you to tailor your disaster recovery architecture to your specific needs and requirements.
