Simplified Backup & Recovery Management for Polyglot Database Infrastructures

ClusterControl’s centralized backup management for polyglot database environments provides you with hot backups of large datasets, point in time recovery in a couple of clicks, at-rest and in-transit data encryption, data integrity via automatic restore verification, cloud backups (AWS, Google and Azure) for Disaster Recovery, retention policies to ensure compliance, and automated alerts and reporting.

One Centralised Backup System to Protect, Secure and Recover Your Business Data

ClusterControl is the centralized backup system for your open source databases. Its point-in-time restore capability ensures lower RPO, while automatic tests of backups ensure data integrity. It reports on which databases are not backed up, and on backup success and failure. Disaster recovery and data archival (on-prem or in the cloud) further complement its backup capabilities, including retention policies for compliance. Automatic data encryption, whether at-rest or in-transit, helps ensure the security of your business data.

Backup Management Top Features

Backup GUI

Automatic Restore Verification

Cloud Backup Integration

Backup Encryption

Backup GUI

ClusterControl provides an additional layer of backup management on top of popular technology-specific tools that are controlled and configured through a simple-to-use user interface (GUI). These tools include: Percona XtraBackup, MariaDB Backup, mysqldump, pg_dump, pg_basebackup, mongodump, MongoDB Consistent Backup, MySQL NDB Backup.

Automatic Restore Verification

Allows users to set up a server with the same requirements as their primary one; and define the backup parameters and whether the test server should become visible in the ClusterControl GUI for long term or just temporarily. ClusterControl runs backups on a new server and several tests to ensure everything works. The server then remains or is removed based on what option was chosen. ClusterControl allows you to run a “test restore” on your backup and runs several backend processes to ensure that the backup is valid and ready for restoration.

Cloud Backup Integration

ClusterControl provides full integration with the top cloud hosting providers to store database backups in the cloud. From the ClusterControl GUI backups can be executed, scheduled, downloaded and restored directly from your cloud provider of choice. This means you can leverage, for your archiving needs, the same scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage architectures used by Amazon, Google and Azure.

Backup Encryption

Backups performed by ClusterControl are encrypted at rest using the AES-256 CBC algorithm. An auto-generated key is stored in the cluster's configuration file under /etc/cmon.d. The backed up files are then transferred in encrypted format.

More Features

Backup GUI

The ClusterControl GUI allows you to define, track and report on the backup process regardless of technology. The scheduler then lets you define retention, set auto-deletion, and maintain both local disk and cloud backups using separate timers. The ClusterControl Backup GUI also allows you to specify specific names for your backups.

Logical & Physical Backups

ClusterControl can perform logical backups (which include a list of the SQL statements) or physical backups (which is a binary, one-to-one copy of your database).

Full & Incremental Backups

When ClusterControl runs its backup processes, it can backup the full database or it can only backup that data which has changed since the last backup.

Compression of Backup Data

When ClusterControl runs its backup processes, it can backup the full database or it can only backup that data which has changed since the last backup.

Backup Operational Report

ClusterControl provides a Backup Operational Report summarising the backup history of all clusters that includes the latest backups, failure reporting, failure rate and in-depth details of each backup ran.

Backup GUI - Procedures

ClusterControl utilizes battle-tested backup procedures using technology-specific methods including Percona XtraBackup, MariaDB Backup, mysqldump, pg_dump, pg_basebackup, mongodump, MongoDB Consistent Backup, MySQL NDB Backup.
