Universal application backup

For MySQL-based business systems, it is recommended that the following be included in the same reviewable backup plan: MySQL database, app upload directory, app configuration, and dependency instructions required for recovery.

Execution Order

  1. Back up application files and configurations using file or directory backups.
  2. Back up your business database using MySQL Backup.
  3. Record the configuration version, project identification, and time window of the two types of backups to avoid database and file from different restore points.
  4. Execute dry-run separately in the test environment, and complete an application launch, key query, and key file read verification.

When restoring, you should first prepare independent databases and application catalogs, then restore them in the order of application dependency, and finally perform a full functional check.
