MySQL Utilities mysqlbinlogmove version 1.6.1 License type: GPLv2 Usage: mysqlbinlogmove --server=user:pass@host:port <destination_directory> mysqlbinlogmove - binary log relocate utility Options: --version show program's version number and exit --help display a help message and exit --license display program's license and exit --server=SERVER connection information for the server in the form: <user>[:<password>]@<host>[:<port>][:<socket>] or <login-path>[:<port>][:<socket>] or <config- path>[<[group]>]. --ssl-ca=SSL_CA The path to a file that contains a list of trusted SSL CAs. --ssl-cert=SSL_CERT The name of the SSL certificate file to use for establishing a secure connection. --ssl-key=SSL_KEY The name of the SSL key file to use for establishing a secure connection. --ssl=SSL Specifies if the server connection requires use of SSL. If an encrypted connection cannot be established, the connection attempt fails. By default 0 (SSL not required). --binlog-dir=BINLOG_DIR Source directory (full path) where the binary log files to move are located. --bin-log-basename=BIN_LOG_BASENAME Basename for the binlog files. If not available it is assumed to be any name ended with '-bin'. --relay-log-basename=RELAY_LOG_BASENAME Basename for the relay log files. If not available it is assumed to be any name ended with '-relay-bin'. --bin-log-index=BIN_LOG_INDEX Location (full path) of the binlogs index file. If not specified it is assumed to be located in the binary log directory. --relay-log-index=RELAY_LOG_INDEX Location (full path) of the relay logs index file. If not specified it is assumed to be located in the binary log directory. -v, --verbose control how much information is displayed. e.g., -v = verbose, -vv = more verbose, -vvv = debug --log-type=LOG_TYPE type of the binary log files to relocate: 'bin' - bin- log files (default), 'relay' - relay-log files, 'all' - bin-log and relay-log files. --sequence=SEQUENCE relocate files with the specified sequence values. Accepts a comma-separated list of non-negative integers (corresponding to the file sequence number) or intervals marked with a dash. For example: 3,5-12,16,21. --modified-before=MODIFIED_BEFORE relocate files with the modified date prior to the specified date/time or number of days. Accepts a date/time in the format: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss or yyyy- mm-dd, or an integer for the elapsed days. --skip-flush-binlogs Skip the binary/relay flush operation to reload server's cache after moving files. Introduction ------------ The mysqlbinlogmove utility was designed to relocate binary log files to a new location in a simple and easy way. The use of this utility is recommended when you intend to change the base location for the binlog files (enabled with the server option --log-bin) moving all binlog files to the target location and updating all required index files. It is also useful to archive some binary log files to a different location. Note: In order to relocate all binary log files the mysql server must be stopped. This requirement is not needed if only some of binary log files are relocated. The behaviour of the utility depends on the options specified. Use the --binlog_dir option to relocate all binary logs. Use the --server option to relocate all binary logs except the ones currently in use (with the higher sequence number). The target destination directory must be specified as an argument and other option can be used to restrict the binary log files that will be moved, as shown in the following examples. # Move all binlog files to a new location (from /old/location # to /new/location). $ mysqlbinlogmove --binlog-dir=/old/location /new/location # Move all binlog files except the one currently in use to a new # location (from the server log_bin_basename directory to /new/location). $ mysqlbinlogmove --server=root:pass@host1:3306 /new/location # Move all binlog files within a specific sequence range (10-100), # except the one currently in use, to a new location (from the server # log_bin_basename directory to /new/location). $ mysqlbinlogmove --server=root:pass@host1:3306 --sequence=10-100 \ /new/location # Move all binlog files not modified in the last two days, except the one # currently in use, to a new location (from the server log_bin_basename # directory to /new/location). $ mysqlbinlogmove --server=root:pass@host1:3306 --modified-before=2 \ /new/location # Move all binlog files older than a specific date (not modified), # except the one currently in use, to a new location (from the server # log_bin_basename directory to /new/location). $ mysqlbinlogmove --server=root:pass@host1:3306 \ --modified-before=2004-07-30 /new/location Helpful Hints ------------- - By default only binlog files are moved. To move relay log files or both use the --log-type option with the desired value. - By default the utility will try to automatically determine the base name for the binary logs and index files by applying the default filename formats and files location. If custom file names are used, you can specify them using the options --bin-log-index, --bin-log-basename, --relay-log-index, and --relay-log-basename, respectively for binlog and relay log files. - When the --server option is used by default binary logs are flushed at the end of the relocate operation in order to update the server's info. Use --skip-flush-binlogs to skip this step.
