Object-Level Local Backup/Restore

; This sample vbr configuration file shows object-level backup and restore 
; using a file system on each database host for that host's backup.
; Section headings are enclosed by square brackets.
; Comments have leading semicolons (;) or pound signs (#).
; Option and values are separated by an equal sign.
; Only arguments marked as '!!Mandatory!!' must be specified explicitly.
; All commented parameters are set to their default value.

; ------------------------------------------- ;
;;; BASIC PARAMETERS ;;;
; ------------------------------------------- ;

[Mapping]
; There must be one [Mapping] section for all of the nodes in your database cluster.
; !!Mandatory!! Backup host name (no default) and Backup directory (no default)
; node_name = backup_host:backup_dir
; [] indicates backup to localhost
v_exampledb_node0001 = []:/home/dbadmin/backups
v_exampledb_node0002 = []:/home/dbadmin/backups
v_exampledb_node0003 = []:/home/dbadmin/backups
v_exampledb_node0004 = []:/home/dbadmin/backups

[Misc]
; !!Recommended!! Snapshot name.  Object and full backups should always have different snapshot names.
; Backups with the same snapshotName form a time sequence limited by restorePointLimit.
; Valid values: a-z A-Z 0-9 - _
; snapshotName = backup_snapshot

; Specifies which tables and/or schemas to backup.
; !!Mandatory!! objects for an object backup
; Specifies which tables and/or schemas to copy.  For tables, the containing schema defaults to public.
; (no default)
objects = mytable, myschema, myothertable

; Specifies how Vertica handles objects of the same name when restoring schema or table backups.
; objectRestoreMode = createOrReplace

[Database]
; !!Recommended!! If you have more than one database defined on this Vertica cluster, use this parameter to specify which database to backup/restore.
; dbName = current_database

; If this parameter is True, vbr will prompt user for database password every time.
; If changed to False, specify location of password config file in 'passwordFile' parameter in [Misc] section.
; dbPromptForPassword = True

; ------------------------------------------- ;
;;; ADVANCED PARAMETERS ;;;
; ------------------------------------------- ;

[Misc]
; The temp directory location on all database hosts.
; The directory must be readable and writeable by the dbadmin, and must implement POSIX style fcntl lockf locking.
; tempDir = /tmp/vbr

; How many times to retry operations if an error occurs.
; retryCount = 2

; Specifies the number of seconds to wait between backup retry attempts, if a failure occurs.
; retryDelay = 1 

; Specifies the number of historical backups to retain in addition to the most recent backup.
; 1 current + n historical backups
; restorePointLimit = 1

; Full path to the password configuration file
; Store this file in directory readable only by the dbadmin.
; (no default)
; passwordFile = /path/to/vbr/pw.txt

; When enabled, Vertica confirms that the specified backup locations contain
; sufficient free space and inodes to allow a successful backup. If a backup
; location has insufficient resources, Vertica displays an error message and
; cancels the backup. If Vertica cannot determine the amount of available space
; or number of inodes in the backupDir, it displays a warning and continues
; with the backup.
; enableFreeSpaceCheck = True

; When performing a backup, replication, or copycluster, specifies the maximum
; acceptable difference, in seconds, between the current epoch and the backup epoch.
; If the time between the current epoch and the backup epoch exceeds the value
; specified in this parameter, Vertica displays an error message.
; SnapshotEpochLagFailureThreshold = 3600

[Database]
; Vertica user name for vbr to connect to the database.
; This is rarely needed since dbUser is normally identical to the database administrator.
; dbUser = current_username
