MariaDB Kubernetes Operator version 25.08.0 introduces PhysicalBackup Custom Resources, enhancing disaster recovery capabilities for MariaDB clusters. Physical backups operate at the directory level, providing efficient restoration for large datasets compared to traditional logical backups. The Operator allows users to schedule backups, manage retention, and apply compression through mariadb-backup or Kubernetes-native VolumeSnapshots. This integration increases recovery flexibility and significantly reduces recovery times, crucial for production environments, aiming to bolster the robustness of data management in modern applications.
The introduction of PhysicalBackup Custom Resources provides an efficient backup solution, particularly for large datasets, utilizing mariadb-backup and Kubernetes-native VolumeSnapshots.
With PhysicalBackup CRs, users can manage backups through the Operator, defining schedules, retention, and location, enhancing disaster recovery strategies for MariaDB clusters.
Physical backups operate at the physical directory level, offering a more efficient restoration process, especially as data grows and quick recovery becomes essential.
Kubernetes-native VolumeSnapshots enable creating storage-level backups directly, allowing for quick provisioning of new clusters and reducing recovery times significantly in production environments.
