The ScyllaDB team announces the release of ScyllaDB Manager 3.10.0, a production-ready patch release of the stable 3.10 branch.
ScyllaDB Manager is a centralized cluster administration and recurrent tasks automation tool.
This release focuses on bug fixes and dependencies upgrades.
Below are the changes in this release.
Backup to local storage (#4806)
ScyllaDB Manager 3.10 introduces new backup provider: localstorage. It allows for storing backup data on ScyllaDB node’s filesystem.
Storing backup data on the same storage pool as the node’s data risks disk space exhaustion. Beyond that, local-only storage means backup data is tied to a single node - if the node fails, both data and backup are lost simultaneously, and restore requires physical access to each node’s disk individually. Because of that, the localstorage backup provider should only be used with storage that is both separate from node data and shared across nodes (e.g., NFS or other network-mounted filesystem).
To use it, configure network mounted filesystem on each ScyllaDB node, add its path to scylla-manager-agent.yaml config and run the sctool backup --location localstorage:bucket (bucket corresponds to a precreated directory on the network mounted filesystem).
More details, limitations and example setup can be found in the localstorage backup provider docs.
Backup of ScyllaDB manifests (#4793)
Starting with ScyllaDB Manager 3.10, ScyllaDB manifests are also a part of backed up files. This is a preparation step towards having backup and restore procedures orchestrated fully by the ScyllaDB itself.
ScyllaDB Manager constructs its own manifests stored in the /backup/meta directory. It uses them for the purposes of handling backup retention and restore.
ScyllaDB node constructs per table manifests which are kept in the /backup/sst directory alongside backed up SSTables. They will be used by the ScyllaDB backup and restore features in the future.
Upgrade to the new release
