# Backup & Restore Metadata
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
Before upgrading your OpenMetadata version we strongly recommend backing up the metadata.
|
|
|
|
The source of truth is stored in the underlying database (MySQL and Postgres supported). During each version upgrade there
|
|
is a database migration process that needs to run. It will directly attack your database and update the shape of the
|
|
data to the newest OpenMetadata release.
|
|
|
|
It is important that we backup the data because if we face any unexpected issues during the upgrade process,
|
|
you will be able to get back to the previous version without any loss.
|
|
|

You can learn more about how the migration process works [here](/deployment/upgrade/how-does-it-work).

|
|
|
|
Since version 1.4.0, **OpenMetadata encourages using the builtin-tools for creating logical backups of the metadata**:
|
|
|
|
- [mysqldump](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysqldump.html) for MySQL
|
|
- [pg_dump](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgdump.html) for Postgres
|
|
|
|
For PROD deployment we recommend users to rely on cloud services for their databases, be it [AWS RDS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rds/),
|
|
[Azure SQL](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/products/azure-sql/database) or [GCP Cloud SQL](https://cloud.google.com/sql/).
|
|
|
|
If you're a user of these services, you can leverage their backup capabilities directly:
|
|
- [Creating a DB snapshot in AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_CreateSnapshot.html)
|
|
- [Backup and restore in Azure MySQL](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/mysql/single-server/concepts-backup)
|
|
- [About GCP Cloud SQL backup](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/backup-recovery/backups)
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- `mysqldump` 8.3 or higher
|
|
- `pg_dump` 13.3 or higher
|
|
|
|
If you're running the project using docker compose, the `ingestion` container already comes packaged with the
|
|
correct `mysqldump` and `pg_dump` versions ready to use.
|
|
|
|
## Storing the backup files
|
|
|
|
It's important that when you backup your database, you keep the snapshot safe in case you need in later.
|
|
|
|
You can check these two examples on how to:
|
|
- Use pipes to stream the result directly to S3 (or AWS blob storage) ([link](https://devcoops.com/pg_dump-to-s3-directly/?utm_content=cmp-true)).
|
|
- Dump to a file and copy to storage ([link](https://gist.github.com/bbcoimbra/0914c7e0f96e8ad53dfad79c64863c87)).

# Example with Docker
|
|
|
|
Start a local instance of OpenMetadata using the `docker-compose` file provided in the repository. Then, we can use the following commands to backup the metadata:
|
|
|
|
## MySQL
|
|
|
|
### 1. Start a local docker deployment
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker/run_local_docker.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ingest some data...
|
|
|
|
### 2. Backup and Restore
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
BACKUP_FILE="backup_$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M).sql"
|
|
DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE="docker/development/docker-compose.yml"
|
|
# backup
|
|
docker compose -f $DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE exec ingestion mysqldump --no-tablespaces -u openmetadata_user -popenmetadata_password -h mysql -P 3306 openmetadata_db > $BACKUP_FILE
|
|
# create the restore database
|
|
docker compose -f $DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE exec mysql mysql -u root -ppassword -e "create database restore;"
|
|
docker compose -f $DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE exec mysql mysql -u root -ppassword -e "grant all privileges on restore.* to 'openmetadata_user'@'%';"
|
|
docker compose -f $DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE exec mysql mysql -u root -ppassword -e "flush privileges;"
|
|
# restore from the backup
|
|
docker compose -f $DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE exec -T ingestion mysql -u openmetadata_user -popenmetadata_password -h mysql -P 3306 restore < $BACKUP_FILE
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Restart the docker deployment with the restored database
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
export OM_DATABASE=restore
|
|
docker compose -f $DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## PostgreSQL
|
|
|
|
### 1. Start a local docker deployment
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker/run_local_docker.sh -d postgres
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ingest some data...
|
|
|
|
### 2. Backup and Restore
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
BACKUP_FILE="backup_$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M).sql"
|
|
DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE="docker/development/docker-compose-postgres.yml"
|
|
# backup
|
|
docker compose -f $DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE exec -e PGPASSWORD=openmetadata_password ingestion pg_dump -U openmetadata_user -h postgresql -d openmetadata_db > $BACKUP_FILE
|
|
# create the restore database
|
|
docker compose -f $DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE exec -e PGPASSWORD=openmetadata_password postgresql psql -U postgres -c "create database restore;"
|
|
docker compose -f $DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE exec -e PGPASSWORD=openmetadata_password postgresql psql -U postgres -c "ALTER DATABASE restore OWNER TO openmetadata_user;"
|
|
# restore from the backup
|
|
docker compose -f $DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE exec -e PGPASSWORD=openmetadata_password -T ingestion psql -U openmetadata_user -h postgresql -d restore < $BACKUP_FILE
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Restart the docker deployment with the restored database
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
export OM_DATABASE=restore
|
|
docker compose -f $DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE up -d
|
|
```
