SHOW [BACKUPS|RESTORES]

These statements show a list of all queued, running and recently finished BACKUP and RESTORE tasks that were executed on a TiDB instance.

Both statements require SUPER privilege to run.

Use SHOW BACKUPS to query BACKUP tasks and use SHOW RESTORES to query RESTORE tasks.

Backups and restores that were started with the br commandline tool are not shown.

Examples

In one connection, execute the following statement:

BACKUP DATABASE `test` TO 's3://example-bucket/backup-01/?region=us-west-1';

Before the backup completes, run SHOW BACKUPS in a new connection:

SHOW BACKUPS;
+--------------------------------+---------+----------+---------------------+---------------------+-------------+------------+---------+ | Destination | State | Progress | Queue_time | Execution_time | Finish_time | Connection | Message | +--------------------------------+---------+----------+---------------------+---------------------+-------------+------------+---------+ | s3://example-bucket/backup-01/ | Backup | 98.38 | 2020-04-12 23:09:03 | 2020-04-12 23:09:25 | NULL | 4 | NULL | +--------------------------------+---------+----------+---------------------+---------------------+-------------+------------+---------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)

The first row of the result above is described as follows:

ColumnDescription
DestinationThe destination URL (with all parameters stripped to avoid leaking secret keys)
StateState of the task
ProgressEstimated progress in the current state as a percentage
Queue_timeWhen the task was queued
Execution_timeWhen the task was started; the value is 0000-00-00 00:00:00 for queueing tasks
Finish_timeThe timestamp when the task finished; the value is 0000-00-00 00:00:00 for queueing and running tasks
ConnectionConnection ID running this task
MessageMessage with details

The possible states are:

StateDescription
BackupMaking a backup
WaitWaiting for execution
ChecksumRunning a checksum operation

The connection ID can be used to cancel a backup/restore task via the KILL TIDB QUERY statement.

KILL TIDB QUERY 4;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Filtering

Use the LIKE clause to filter out tasks by matching the destination URL against a wildcard expression.

SHOW BACKUPS LIKE 's3://%';

Use the WHERE clause to filter by columns.

SHOW BACKUPS WHERE `Progress` < 25.0;

MySQL compatibility

This statement is a TiDB extension to MySQL syntax.
