Restoring MySQL Databases from their backups

Resurrector

Resurrector helps you to restore your backed-up MySQL Databases to any specified instance.

Pip

You can install this package from pip by running the following command :

pip install resurrector

Pros

• Restore multiple databases at once

• No need o know CLI commands to treat backup files

• No need to know an OS to handle this process

• You can specify which databases should be restored and exclude dbs which are should not.

• You can restore only missing databases in the instance (no need to treat the existing ones)

• Automatic decompression

Good to know

Depending on your MySql instance settings (such as user permissions or global variable specifications) you may need

to deal with input parameters of the Ressurector (see below).

Parameters

Name | Description | Type | Default

--- | --- | --- | ---

source | Input Folder (.zip or just normal folder) | string | -

host | MySQL Instance Ip | string | localhost

user | MySQL Instance User | string | root

port | MySQL Instance Port | integer | 3306

skip_dbs | List of Databases to skip | array | None

skip_existing | Should it skip the existing Databases? | boolean | True

mysql_global_vars | Global variables which should be run before each restoration | string (if multiple then semicolon sepearated) | SET @@GLOBAL.GTID_PURGED='';

exclude_sql_parts | SQL contents which should be removed | string | SET GLOBAL max_allowed_packet=268435456;

debug | Debug the process on console | boolean | False

How it works

Resurrector reads a folder (either as zipped or not) and searches for .gz files in it, these must contain .sql files which were

backed up in your servers either automatically or manually. After connecting to the given database instance it creates these databases by

and "fills" them one by one (executes the whole .sql file (query) on each respective database).

Simple usage

import resurrector



resurrector.resurrect(source='files/2022-07-06',

                      host='localhost',

                      user='root',

                      password='',

                      port=3306, skip_existing=True, debug=True)
