1 System Requirements
Refer to the following KB article for the list of supported operating systems & application
versions:
FAQ: Ahsay Software Compatibility List (SCL) for version 8.1 or above
http://wiki.ahsay.com/doku.php?id=public:8001_faq:ahsay_software_compatibility_list_scl_for
_version_8.1_or_above
www.bobcloud.net 2
2 Requirements and Recommendations
Please ensure that the following requirements and conditions are met on the MySQL database
server.
1. AhsayOBM is installed on the MySQL database server.
2. The MySQL database instance is online.
Example: MySQL v5.6 on Windows Server 2016 (64-bit), the default service name is
MySQL56.
Example: MySQL v8 on Windows Server 2016, the default service name is MySQL80.
3. Check the listening port of the MySQL database instance (default is 3306) using the
command netstat –b –a.
C:\>netstat -b -a

4. The mysqldump utility is installed on the MySQL database server.
Example: the default location for the mysqldump utitlity for MySQL v5.6.x is located in the
following folder C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin
5. The mysqldump utility is the same version as the MySQL database.
To check the mysqldump version use the mysqldump – –version command.
Example: MySQL v5.6
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin>mysqldump --version
mysqldump Ver 10.13 Distrib 5.6.41, for Win64 (x86_64)
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin>
Example: MySQL v8.0
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin>mysqldump --version
mysqldump Ver 8.0.12 for Win64 on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server
- GPL)
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin>
MySQL database version:
Example: MySQL v5.6
mysql> select version();
+------------+
| version() |
+------------+
| 5.6.41-log |
+------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql>
Example: MySQL v8.0
mysql> select version();
+-----------+
| version() |
+-----------+
| 8.0.12 |
+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql>
www.bobcloud.net 4
6. A MySQL database user account with the following privileges must be setup for the backup
operation.
Example: MySQL v5.6
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO "username"@"localhost"
IDENTIFIED BY "password";
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO
"username"@"localhost.localdomain" IDENTIFIED BY "password";
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
mysql>
For MySQL 8 the use of GRANT to define account authentication characteristic is
deprecated. For more information please refer to the MySQL 8.0 Reference Manual. As
an alternative, you must first create the user and set the authentication characteristic by
using CREATE USER before setting the privileges of the user using GRANT.
Example: MySQL v8.0
mysql> CREATE USER 'root'@'localhost.localdomain' IDENTIFIED BY
'Abcd123$%';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.32 sec)
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost.localdomain';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
7. Verify that ‘localhost’ on the MySQL database server is resolvable and ‘localhost’ is allowed
to access the MySQL database instance on the MySQL service listening port (default 3306).

www.bobcloud.net 5
Note: The telnet utility is not installed by default on some Windows versions.
8. Exclude the 'information_schema' and ‘performance_schema’ databases are MySQL virtual
system databases, which contains information about the user databases on the MySQL
instance. They are read-only and cannot be backed up.
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql |
| performance_schema |
| sakila |
| test |
| world |
+--------------------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
9. The databases selected for backup will be temporarily spooled to a temporary directory
before being uploaded to the backup server or destination storage.
Ensure that the temporary directory configured for the MySQL database backup has
sufficient disk space for the backup operation, the free space on the temporary directory
drive should be at least 130% of the database size. As the temporary directory is also used
for storing index files and any incremental or differential delta files generated during the
backup job before they are uploaded to the backup destination.
Please bear in mind the size of the databases may grow over time and you may need to
review the temporary directory free space requirements on a regular basis.
To calculate for the size of your databases run the command below.
+--------------------+-----------+
| Database | Size (MB) |
+--------------------+-----------+
| information_schema | 0.01 |
| mysql | 0.90 |
| performance_schema | 0.00 |
| sakila | 6.44 |
| world | 0.77 |
+--------------------+-----------+
5 rows in set (0.53 sec)

2. When restoring MySQL databases to an alternate location only one database can be
selected and restored at any one time.
3. Cannot restore the MySQL database nodes to original or alternate location.
4. Restoring databases to another machine can only be done using the Restore raw file
option.
