According to the comment on the code, the custom parameters should be passed to fdbbackup and fdbrestore, but the code only passes the parameters to fdbcli, is that a bug?
I managed to configure fdbbackup and fdbrestore parameters by adding them to the script files and specifying them on the command line when calling the corresponding utilities.
For fdbbackup I created a script file with the extension “.cluster” and specified the necessary parameters inside this file. Then, when calling fdbbackup, I used the “-C” flag to specify the path to my script file.
An example of the script file “backup.cluster”:
coordinators=“fdb1:4500”
snapshot_interval_seconds=600
max_versions=10000
Then I called fdbbackup in the following way:
fdbbackup -C /path/to/backup.cluster
Similarly, for fdbrestore, I created a script file with the extension “.restore” and specified the necessary parameters inside the file. When calling fdbrestore, I used the “-C” flag to specify the path to my script file.
An example of the script file “restore.restore”:
dest_cluster_file=“fdb2.cluster”
snapshot_version=1234567890
logs_directory=“/path/to/logs”
I then called fdbrestore as follows:
fdbrestore -C /path/to/restore.restore
This way you can configure fdbbackup and fdbrestore parameters by creating script files and specifying the necessary values inside these files. Then just use the “-C” flag with the path to your script file when calling the utilities.
I hope this helps you set up fdbbackup and fdbrestore with the right parameters! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Good luck!
