In addition to regular backup strategies, OceanBase Database also supports manually initiating a data backup immediately. Immediate backup is not limited by backup strategies and can be directly created in any scenario.
Note
- By default, OceanBase Database initiates a major compaction once a day. However, if a large amount of data is written to OceanBase Database, it may trigger multiple major compactions. After each major compaction, OceanBase Database can only perform one successful data backup. If data backup is successful, triggering another backup before the next major compaction will result in backup failure.
- Manual backup only applies to data backup and will not affect log backup tasks.
