I am trying to backup my production couchbase bucket using cbbackup tool but facing an issue
Using the following command:-
cbbackup http://127.0.0.1:8091 ~/backups/couchbase-20170509 -u username -p password --single-node
and getting the following error-:
Usage: cbbackup [options] source backup_dir
Online backup of a couchbase cluster or server node.
Examples:
Take a full backup of a cluster.
cbbackup http://HOST:8091 /backup-42
Take a full backup for a single node.
cbbackup couchbase://HOST:8091 /backup-43 --single-node
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-b BUCKET_SOURCE, --bucket-source=BUCKET_SOURCE
single bucket from source to backup
–single-node use a single server node from the source only,
not all server nodes from the entire cluster;
this single server node is defined by the source URL
-i ID, --id=ID Transfer only items that match a vbucketID
-k KEY, --key=KEY Transfer only items with keys that match a regexp
-n, --dry-run No actual transfer; just validate parameters, files,
connectivity and configurations
-u USERNAME, --username=USERNAME
REST username for source cluster or server node
-p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD
REST password for source cluster or server node
-s, --ssl Transfer data with SSL enabled
-t THREADS, --threads=THREADS
Number of concurrent workers threads performing the
transfer
-v, --verbose verbose logging; more -v’s provide more verbosity. Max
is -vvv
–silent Reduce logging verbosity to only include errors
-x EXTRA, --extra=EXTRA
Provide extra, uncommon config parameters;
comma-separated key=val(,key=val)* pairs
Available extra config parameters (-x):
backoff_cap=10 (Max backoff time during rebalance period);
batch_max_bytes=400000 (Transfer this # of bytes per batch);
batch_max_size=1000 (Transfer this # of documents per batch);
cbb_max_mb=100000 (Split backup file on destination cluster if it
exceeds MB); conflict_resolve=1 (By default, enable conflict
resolution.); data_only=0 (For value 1, only transfer data from a
backup file or cluster); dcp_consumer_queue_length=1000 (A DCP client
needs a queue for incoming documents/messages. A large length is more
efficient, but memory proportional to length*avg. doc size. Below
length 150, performance degrades significantly.); design_doc_only=0
(For value 1, transfer design documents only from a backup file or
cluster); flow_control=1 (For value 0, disable flow control to improve
throughput); max_retry=10 (Max number of sequential retries if
transfer fails); mcd_compatible=1 (For value 0, display extended
fields for stdout output.); nmv_retry=1 (0 or 1, where 1 retries
transfer after a NOT_MY_VBUCKET message); recv_min_bytes=4096 (Amount
of bytes for every TCP/IP call transferred); rehash=0 (For value 1,
rehash the partition id’s of each item; this is needed when
transferring data between clusters with different number of
partitions, such as when transferring data from an OSX server to a
non-OSX cluster); report=5 (Number batches transferred before updating
progress bar in console); report_full=2000 (Number batches transferred
before emitting progress information in console); seqno=0 (By default,
start seqno from beginning.); try_xwm=1 (Transfer documents with
metadata. 0 should only be used if you transfer from 1.8.x to 1.8.x);
uncompress=0 (For value 1, restore data in uncompressed mode)
Error: please provide both a source and a backup_dir
