Full Backup and Restore to an Alternate Cluster

; This sample vbr configuration file shows full backup and restore to another cluster.
; Section headings are enclosed by square brackets.
; Comments have leading semicolons (;) or pound signs (#).
; An equal sign separates options and values.
; Specify arguments marked '!!Mandatory!!' 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
v_exampledb_node0001 = new_host0001:/home/dbadmin/backups
v_exampledb_node0002 = new_host0002:/home/dbadmin/backups
v_exampledb_node0003 = new_host0003:/home/dbadmin/backups
v_exampledb_node0004 = new_host0004:/home/dbadmin/backups

[NodeMapping]
; !!Recommended!! This section is required if node names are different between source and destination databases.
v_exampledb_node0001 = new_host0001
v_exampledb_node0002 = new_host0002
v_exampledb_node0003 = new_host0003
v_exampledb_node0004 = new_host0004

[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 prompts the user for database password every time.
; If 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 some error occurs.
; retryCount = 2

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

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

; 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

[Transmission]
; Sets options for transmitting the data when using backup hosts.
; Changes the default port number for the rsync protocol.
; port_rsync = 50000

; Total bandwidth limit for all backup connections in KBPS, 0 for unlimited. Vertica distributes
; this bandwidth evenly among the number of connections set in concurrency_backup.
; total_bwlimit_backup = 0

; The maximum number of backup TCP rsync connection threads per node.
; Results vary depending on environment, but values between 2 and 16 are sometimes quite helpful.
; concurrency_backup = 1

; The total bandwidth limit for all restore connections in KBPS, 0 for unlimited
; total_bwlimit_restore = 0

; The maximum number of restore TCP rsync connection threads per node.
; Results vary depending on environment, but values between 2 and 16 are sometimes quite helpful.
; concurrency_restore = 1

[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
