vmbackupmanager
vmbackupmanager is a part of enterprise package. It is available for download and evaluation at releases page
The VictoriaMetrics backup manager automates regular backup procedures. It supports the following backup intervals: hourly, daily, weekly and monthly. Multiple backup intervals may be configured simultaneously. I.e. the backup manager creates hourly backups every hour, while it creates daily backups every day, etc. Backup manager must have read access to the storage data, so best practice is to install it on the same machine (or as a sidecar) where the storage node is installed. The backup service makes a backup every hour and puts it to the latest folder and then copies data to the folders which represent the backup intervals (hourly, daily, weekly and monthly)
The required flags for running the service are as follows:
- -eula - should be true and means that you have the legal right to run a backup manager. That can either be a signed contract or an email with confirmation to run the service in a trial period.
- -storageDataPath - path to VictoriaMetrics or vmstorage data path to make backup from.
- -snapshot.createURL - VictoriaMetrics creates snapshot URL which will automatically be created during backup. Example: http://victoriametrics:8428/snapshot/create
- -dst - backup destination at the supported storage types.
- -credsFilePath - path to file with GCS or S3 credentials. Credentials are loaded from default locations if not set. See https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/creating-managing-service-account-keys and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html.
Backup schedule is controlled by the following flags:
- -disableHourly - disable hourly run. Default false
- -disableDaily - disable daily run. Default false
- -disableWeekly - disable weekly run. Default false
- -disableMonthly - disable monthly run. Default false
By default, all flags are turned on and Backup Manager backups data every hour for every interval (hourly, daily, weekly and monthly).
The backup manager creates the following directory hierarchy at -dst:
- /latest/ - contains the latest backup
- /hourly/ - contains hourly backups. Each backup is named as YYYY-MM-DD:HH
- /daily/ - contains daily backups. Each backup is named as YYYY-MM-DD
- /weekly/ - contains weekly backups. Each backup is named as YYYY-WW
- /monthly/ - contains monthly backups. Each backup is named as YYYY-MM
To get the full list of supported flags please run the following command:
./vmbackupmanager --help
The service creates a full backup each run. This means that the system can be restored fully from any particular backup using vmrestore. Backup manager uploads only the data that has been changed or created since the most recent backup (incremental backup). This reduces the consumed network traffic and the time needed for performing the backup. See this article for details.
Please take into account that the first backup upload could take a significant amount of time as it needs to upload all the data.
There are two flags which could help with performance tuning:
- -maxBytesPerSecond - the maximum upload speed. There is no limit if it is set to 0
- -concurrency - The number of concurrent workers. Higher concurrency may improve upload speed (default 10)
Example of Usage
GCS and cluster version. You need to have a credentials file in json format with following structure:
credentials.json
{
"type": "service_account",
"project_id": "<project>",
"private_key_id": "",
"private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
"client_email": "test@<project>.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
"client_id": "",
"auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
"token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
"auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
"client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/test%40<project>.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
}
Backup manager launched with the following configuration:
export NODE_IP=192.168.0.10
export VMSTORAGE_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8428
./vmbackupmanager -dst=gs://vmstorage-data/$NODE_IP -credsFilePath=credentials.json -storageDataPath=/vmstorage-data -snapshot.createURL=$VMSTORAGE_ENDPOINT/snapshot/create -eula
Expected logs in vmbackupmanager:
info lib/backup/actions/backup.go:131 server-side copied 81 out of 81 parts from GCS{bucket: "vmstorage-data", dir: "192.168.0.10//latest/"} to GCS{bucket: "vmstorage-data", dir: "192.168.0.10//weekly/2020-34/"} in 2.549833008s
info lib/backup/actions/backup.go:169 backed up 853315 bytes in 2.882 seconds; deleted 0 bytes; server-side copied 853315 bytes; uploaded 0 bytes
Expected logs in vmstorage:

info VictoriaMetrics/lib/storage/storage.go:311 deleting snapshot "/vmstorage-data/snapshots/20200818201959-162C760149895DDA"...
info VictoriaMetrics/lib/storage/storage.go:319 deleted snapshot "/vmstorage-data/snapshots/20200818201959-162C760149895DDA" in 0.169 seconds
The result on the GCS bucket
Backup Retention Policy
Backup retention policy is controlled by:
- -keepLastHourly - keep the last N hourly backups. Disabled by default
- -keepLastDaily - keep the last N daily backups. Disabled by default
- -keepLastWeekly - keep the last N weekly backups. Disabled by default
- -keepLastMonthly - keep the last N monthly backups. Disabled by default
Note: 0 value in every keepLast flag results into deletion ALL backups for particular type (hourly, daily, weekly and monthly)
Let’s assume we have a backup manager collecting daily backups for the past 10 days.
We enable backup retention policy for backup manager by using following configuration:
export NODE_IP=192.168.0.10
export VMSTORAGE_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8428
./vmbackupmanager -dst=gs://vmstorage-data/$NODE_IP -credsFilePath=credentials.json -storageDataPath=/vmstorage-data -snapshot.createURL=$VMSTORAGE_ENDPOINT/snapshot/create
-keepLastDaily=3 -eula
Expected logs in backup manager on start:
info lib/logger/flag.go:20 flag "keepLastDaily" = "3"
Expected logs in backup manager during retention cycle:
info app/vmbackupmanager/retention.go:106 daily backups to delete [daily/2021-02-13 daily/2021-02-12 daily/2021-02-11 daily/2021-02-10 daily/2021-02-09 daily/2021-02-08 daily/2021-02-07]
The result on the GCS bucket. We see only 3 daily backups:
Protection backups against deletion by retention policy
You can protect any backup against deletion by retention policy with the vmbackupmanager backups lock
command.
For instance:
./vmbackupmanager backup lock daily/2021-02-13 -dst=<DST_PATH> -storageDataPath=/vmstorage-data -eula
After that the backup won't be deleted by retention policy.
You can view the locked
attribute in backup list:
./vmbackupmanager backup list -dst=<DST_PATH> -storageDataPath=/vmstorage-data -eula
To remove protection, you can use the command vmbackupmanager backups unlock
.
For example:
./vmbackupmanager backup unlock daily/2021-02-13 -dst=<DST_PATH> -storageDataPath=/vmstorage-data -eula

By default, CLI commands are using http://127.0.0.1:8300
endpoint to reach vmbackupmanager
API.
It can be changed by using flag:
-apiURL string
vmbackupmanager address to perform API requests (default "http://127.0.0.1:8300")
Backup commands
vmbackupmanager backup list
lists backups in remote storage:
$ ./vmbackupmanager backup list
[{"name":"daily/2023-04-07","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:07+00:00"},{"name":"hourly/2023-04-07:11","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:06+00:00"},{"name":"latest","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:04+00:00"},{"name":"monthly/2023-04","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:10+00:00"},{"name":"weekly/2023-14","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:09+00:00"}]
Restore commands
Restore commands are used to create, get and delete restore mark.
Restore mark is used by vmbackupmanager
to store backup name to restore when running restore.
Create restore mark:
$ ./vmbackupmanager restore create daily/2022-10-06
Get restore mark if it exists:
$ ./vmbackupmanager restore get
{"backup":"daily/2022-10-06"}
Delete restore mark if it exists:
$ ./vmbackupmanager restore delete
Perform restore:
$ /vmbackupmanager-prod restore -dst=gs://vmstorage-data/$NODE_IP -credsFilePath=credentials.json -storageDataPath=/vmstorage-data
Note that vmsingle
or vmstorage
should be stopped before performing restore.
If restore mark doesn't exist at storageDataPath
(restore wasn't requested) vmbackupmanager restore
will exit with successful status code.
How to restore backup via CLI
- Run
vmbackupmanager backup list
to get list of available backups:
$ /vmbackupmanager-prod backup list
[{"name":"daily/2023-04-07","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:07+00:00"},{"name":"hourly/2023-04-07:11","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:06+00:00"},{"name":"latest","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:04+00:00"},{"name":"monthly/2023-04","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:10+00:00"},{"name":"weekly/2023-14","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:09+00:00"}]
- Run
vmbackupmanager restore create
to create restore mark:- Use relative path to backup to restore from currently used remote storage:
$ /vmbackupmanager-prod restore create daily/2023-04-07
- Use full path to backup to restore from any remote storage:
$ /vmbackupmanager-prod restore create azblob://test1/vmbackupmanager/daily/2023-04-07
- Use relative path to backup to restore from currently used remote storage:
- Stop
vmstorage
orvmsingle
node - Run
vmbackupmanager restore
to restore backup:
$ /vmbackupmanager-prod restore -credsFilePath=credentials.json -storageDataPath=/vmstorage-data
- Start
vmstorage
orvmsingle
node
How to restore in Kubernetes
- Ensure there is an init container with
vmbackupmanager restore
invmstorage
orvmsingle
pod. For VictoriaMetrics operator deployments it is required to add:
See operatorvmbackup: restore: onStart: enabled: "true"
VMStorage
schema here andVMSingle
here. - Enter container running
vmbackupmanager
- Use
vmbackupmanager backup list
to get list of available backups:
$ /vmbackupmanager-prod backup list
[{"name":"daily/2023-04-07","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:07+00:00"},{"name":"hourly/2023-04-07:11","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:06+00:00"},{"name":"latest","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:04+00:00"},{"name":"monthly/2023-04","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:10+00:00"},{"name":"weekly/2023-14","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:09+00:00"}]
- Use
vmbackupmanager restore create
to create restore mark:
- Use relative path to backup to restore from currently used remote storage:
$ /vmbackupmanager-prod restore create daily/2023-04-07
- Use full path to backup to restore from any remote storage:
$ /vmbackupmanager-prod restore create azblob://test1/vmbackupmanager/daily/2023-04-07
- Restart pod
Restore cluster into another cluster
These steps are assuming that VictoriaMetrics operator is used to manage VMCluster
.
Clusters here are referred to as source
and destination
.
- Create a new cluster with access to source cluster
vmbackupmanager
storage and same number of storage nodes. Add the following section in order to enable restore on start (operatorVMStorage
schema can be found here:
Note: it is safe to leave this section in the cluster configuration, since it will be ignored if restore mark doesn't exist.vmbackup: restore: onStart: enabled: "true"
Important! Use different
-dst
for destination cluster to avoid overwriting backup data of the source cluster. - Enter container running
vmbackupmanager
in source cluster - Use
vmbackupmanager backup list
to get list of available backups:
$ /vmbackupmanager-prod backup list
[{"name":"daily/2023-04-07","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:07+00:00"},{"name":"hourly/2023-04-07:11","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:06+00:00"},{"name":"latest","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:04+00:00"},{"name":"monthly/2023-04","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:10+00:00"},{"name":"weekly/2023-14","size_bytes":318837,"size":"311.4ki","created_at":"2023-04-07T16:15:09+00:00"}]
- Use
vmbackupmanager restore create
to create restore mark at each pod of the destination cluster. Each pod in destination cluster should be restored from backup of respective pod in source cluster. For example:vmstorage-source-0
in source cluster should be restored fromvmstorage-destination-0
in destination cluster.
$ /vmbackupmanager-prod restore create s3://source_cluster/vmstorage-source-0/daily/2023-04-07
Monitoring
vmbackupmanager
exports various metrics in Prometheus exposition format at http://vmbackupmanager:8300/metrics
page. It is recommended setting up regular scraping of this page
either via vmagent or via Prometheus, so the exported metrics could be analyzed later.
