clickhouse-backup

A tool for easy ClickHouse backup and restore with support for many cloud and non-cloud storage types. To backup data, clickhouse-backup requires access to the same files as clickhouse-server in /var/lib/clickhouse folders. For that reason, it's prefereable to run clickhouse-backup on the same host or same Kubernetes Pod or the neighbor container on the same host where clickhouse-server ran.

TODO You can backup only schema from remote hosts.

Features

Easy creating and restoring backups of all or specific tables
Efficient storing of multiple backups on the file system
Uploading and downloading with streaming compression
Works with AWS, GCS, Azure, Tencent COS, FTP, SFTP
Support for Atomic Database Engine
Support for multi disks installations
Support for custom remote storage types via rclone, kopia, restic, rsync etc
Support for incremental backups on remote storage

Limitations

ClickHouse above 1.1.54394 is supported
Only MergeTree family tables engines (more table types for clickhouse-server 22.7+ and USE_EMBEDDED_BACKUP_RESTORE=true)

Build from the sources (required go 1.21+):

GO111MODULE=on go install github.com/Altinity/clickhouse-backup/v2/cmd/clickhouse-backup@latest

Brief description how clickhouse-backup works

Data files is immutable in clickhouse-server. During backup operation clickhouse-backup create file system hard-links to exists clickhouse-server data parts via executing ALTER TABLE ... FREZZE query. During restore operation clickhouse-backup copy hard-links to detached folder and execute ALTER TABLE ... ATTACH PART query for each data part and each table in backup.

Default Config

By default, the config file is located at /etc/clickhouse-backup/config.yml, but it can be redefined via the CLICKHOUSE_BACKUP_CONFIG environment variable. All options can be overwritten via environment variables. Use clickhouse-backup print-config to print current config.

general:
  remote_storage: none           # REMOTE_STORAGE, choice from: `azblob`,`gcs`,`s3`, etc; if `none` then `upload` and `download` commands will fail.
  max_file_size: 1073741824      # MAX_FILE_SIZE, 1G by default, useless when upload_by_part is true, use to split data parts files by archives
  disable_progress_bar: true     # DISABLE_PROGRESS_BAR, show progress bar during upload and download, makes sense only when `upload_concurrency` and `download_concurrency` is 1
  backups_to_keep_local: 0       # BACKUPS_TO_KEEP_LOCAL, how many latest local backup should be kept, 0 means all created backups will be stored on local disk
                                 # -1 means backup will keep after `create` but will delete after `create_remote` command
                                 # You can run `clickhouse-backup delete local <backup_name>` command to remove temporary backup files from the local disk
  backups_to_keep_remote: 0      # BACKUPS_TO_KEEP_REMOTE, how many latest backup should be kept on remote storage, 0 means all uploaded backups will be stored on remote storage.
                                 # If old backups are required for newer incremental backup then it won't be deleted. Be careful with long incremental backup sequences.
  log_level: info                # LOG_LEVEL, a choice from `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`
  allow_empty_backups: false     # ALLOW_EMPTY_BACKUPS
  # Concurrency means parallel tables and parallel parts inside tables
  # For example, 4 means max 4 parallel tables and 4 parallel parts inside one table, so equals 16 concurrent streams
  download_concurrency: 1        # DOWNLOAD_CONCURRENCY, max 255, by default, the value is round(sqrt(AVAILABLE_CPU_CORES / 2))
  upload_concurrency: 1          # UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY, max 255, by default, the value is round(sqrt(AVAILABLE_CPU_CORES / 2))

  # RESTORE_SCHEMA_ON_CLUSTER, execute all schema related SQL queries with `ON CLUSTER` clause as Distributed DDL.

Concurrency, CPU and Memory usage recommendation

upload_concurrency and download_concurrency define how many parallel download / upload go-routines will start independently of the remote storage type. In 1.3.0+ it means how many parallel data parts will be uploaded, assuming upload_by_part and download_by_part are true (which is the default value).

concurrency in the s3 section means how many concurrent upload streams will run during multipart upload in each upload go-routine. A high value for S3_CONCURRENCY and a high value for S3_PART_SIZE will allocate a lot of memory for buffers inside the AWS golang SDK.

concurrency in the sftp section means how many concurrent request will be used for upload and download for each file.

For compression_format, a good default is tar, which uses less CPU. In most cases the data in clickhouse is already compressed, so you may not get a lot of space savings when compressing already-compressed data.

remote_storage: custom

All custom commands use the go-template language. For example, you can use {{ .cfg.* }} {{ .backupName }} {{ .diffFromRemote }}. A custom list_command returns JSON which is compatible with the metadata.BackupMetadata type with JSONEachRow format. For examples, see restic, rsync and kopia. Feel free to add yours custom storage.

ATTENTION!

Never change file permissions in /var/lib/clickhouse/backup. This path contains hard links. Permissions on all hard links to the same data on disk are always identical. That means that if you change the permissions/owner/attributes on a hard link in backup path, permissions on files with which ClickHouse works will be changed too. That can lead to data corruption.

API

Use the clickhouse-backup server command to run as a REST API server. In general, the API attempts to mirror the CLI commands.

GET /

List all current applicable HTTP routes

POST /

POST /restart

Restart HTTP server, close all current connections, close listen socket, open listen socket again, all background go-routines breaks with contexts

GET /backup/kill

Kill selected command from GET /backup/actions command list, kill process should be near immediate, but some go-routines (upload one data part) could continue to run.

Optional query argument command may contain the command name to kill, or if it is omitted then kill the first "in progress" command.

GET /backup/tables

Print list of tables: curl -s localhost:7171/backup/tables | jq ., exclude pattern matched tables from skip_tables configuration parameters

Optional query argument table works the same as the --table value CLI argument.

GET /backup/tables/all

Print list of tables: curl -s localhost:7171/backup/tables/all | jq ., ignore skip_tables configuration parameters.

Optional query argument table works the same as the --table value CLI argument.

POST /backup/create

Create new backup: curl -s localhost:7171/backup/create -X POST | jq .

Optional query argument table works the same as the --table value CLI argument.
Optional query argument partitions works the same as the --partitions value CLI argument.
Optional query argument name works the same as specifying a backup name with the CLI.
Optional query argument schema works the same as the --schema CLI argument (backup schema only).
Optional query argument rbac works the same as the --rbac CLI argument (backup RBAC).
Optional query argument configs works the same as the --configs CLI argument (backup configs).
Optional query argument callback allow pass callback URL which will call with POST with application/json with payload {"status":"error|success","error":"not empty when error happens"}.
Additional example: curl -s 'localhost:7171/backup/create?table=default.billing&name=billing_test' -X POST

Note: this operation is asynchronous, so the API will return once the operation has started.

POST /backup/watch

Run background watch process and create full+incremental backups sequence: curl -s localhost:7171/backup/watch -X POST | jq . You can't run watch twice with the same parameters even when allow_parallel: true

Optional query argument watch_interval works the same as the --watch-interval value CLI argument.
Optional query argument full_interval works the same as the --full-interval value CLI argument.
Optional query argument watch_backup_name_template works the same as the --watch-backup-name-template value CLI argument.
Optional query argument table works the same as the --table value CLI argument (backup only selected tables).
Optional query argument partitions works the same as the --partitions value CLI argument (backup only selected partitions).
Optional query argument schema works the same as the --schema CLI argument (backup schema only).
Optional query argument rbac works the same as the --rbac CLI argument (backup RBAC).
Optional query argument configs works the same as the --configs CLI argument (backup configs).
Additional example: curl -s 'localhost:7171/backup/watch?table=default.billing&watch_interval=1h&full_interval=24h' -X POST

Note: this operation is asynchronous and can only be stopped with kill -s SIGHUP $(pgrep -f clickhouse-backup) or call /restart, /backup/kill. The API will return immediately once the operation has started.

POST /backup/clean

Clean the shadow folders using all available paths from system.disks

POST /backup/clean/remote_broken

Remove Note: this operation is sync, and could take a lot of time, increase http timeouts during call

POST /backup/upload

Upload backup to remote storage: curl -s localhost:7171/backup/upload/<BACKUP_NAME> -X POST | jq .
