25.6.16.3 The ndbinfo backup_id Table

This table provides a way to find the ID of the backup started most recently for this cluster.

The backup_id table contains a single columnid, which corresponds to a backup ID taken using the ndb_mgm clientSTART BACKUP command. This table contains a single row.

Example: Assume the following sequence ofSTART BACKUP commands issued in the NDB management client, with no other backups taken since the cluster was first started:

ndb_mgm> START BACKUP
Waiting for completed, this may take several minutes
Node 5: Backup 1 started from node 50
Node 5: Backup 1 started from node 50 completed
 StartGCP: 27894 StopGCP: 27897
 #Records: 2057 #LogRecords: 0
 Data: 51580 bytes Log: 0 bytes
ndb_mgm> START BACKUP 5
Waiting for completed, this may take several minutes
Node 5: Backup 5 started from node 50
Node 5: Backup 5 started from node 50 completed
 StartGCP: 27905 StopGCP: 27908
 #Records: 2057 #LogRecords: 0
 Data: 51580 bytes Log: 0 bytes
ndb_mgm> START BACKUP
Waiting for completed, this may take several minutes
Node 5: Backup 6 started from node 50
Node 5: Backup 6 started from node 50 completed
 StartGCP: 27912 StopGCP: 27915
 #Records: 2057 #LogRecords: 0
 Data: 51580 bytes Log: 0 bytes
ndb_mgm> START BACKUP 3
Connected to Management Server at: localhost:1186
Waiting for completed, this may take several minutes
Node 5: Backup 3 started from node 50
Node 5: Backup 3 started from node 50 completed
 StartGCP: 28149 StopGCP: 28152
 #Records: 2057 #LogRecords: 0
 Data: 51580 bytes Log: 0 bytes
ndb_mgm>

After this, the backup_id table contains the single row shown here, using the mysql client:

mysql> USE ndbinfo;

Database changed
mysql> SELECT * FROM backup_id;
+------+
| id   |
+------+
|    3 |
+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

If no backups can be found, the table contains a single row with0 as the id value.

The backup_id table was added in NDB 8.0.24.
