Today's society has entered the era of data explosion, and data has become one of the most important assets of enterprises. If the means and measures of data backup and data recovery are not taken, it will lead to data loss, and sometimes the loss caused cannot be compensated and estimated. There are many data backup methods on the market. Today we will share with you how Navicat, which has been widely acclaimed by the industry, realizes the two functions of data "backup" and "restore" conveniently and efficiently, thereby minimizing the risk of data loss.

Data Loss Application Scenarios

- Accidental deletion and modification, human misoperation;

- Illegal behavior of deleting databases and running away;

- Software BUG causes partial or complete loss of data;

- Part or all of the database data is lost due to hardware failure;

- The security hole is invaded and the data is maliciously destroyed;

Non-Data Loss Application Scenarios

- Point-in-time data recovery in special application scenarios;

- Development and testing environment database construction;

- Build a new environment for the same database;

- database or data migration;

In order to ensure the security of corporate or personal data, the database management team needs to always have the awareness of "fire prevention beforehand and reduce the chance of firefighting afterwards".

Navicat manual backup function | Practicality

Navicat supports global mainstream relational database backup operations, including: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, SQL Server, OceanBase. The objects of the backup operation include: tables, views, functions, and events, and SQL can also be extracted (applicable to some databases). For important data assets at the enterprise level, we recommend doing a data backup once a week.

Data backup types include:

- Full backup (backup of the entire database data)

- Partial backup (one table or multiple tables).

**Navicat automatic backup function | 7 * 24 hours**

The implementation of "backup" database is generally carried out in the early hours of the morning, that is, the point of time when there is basically no database operation. It is difficult for the database administrator to manually back up the database at one o'clock in the morning on a regular basis. The best solution is to use the automatic backup function to automate similar operations. Not only can it meet the requirements of automatically running jobs at one or more fixed intervals, but it can also be set to start and end at specific dates and times. In automatic operation, functions such as query, backup, data transfer, data synchronization, data generation, chart, import, export, etc. can be added from the database.

Navicat Restore Backup Function | Convenience

The restore operation is more convenient. Users can visually see all previously saved backup operations in the "Backup" taskbar. Just right-click on the configuration file and select "Restore Backup". Of course, you can intuitively choose to restore a certain table/multiple tables in the configuration file, or all backed up tables.

epilogue

Navicat's "backup" and "restore" functions are widely used in enterprise scenarios, and its stability, response speed, and data consistency are the reasons why users choose it. The backup function in "Auto Run" is also one of the most commonly used functions by Navicat users. Navicat lets you use the "Task Scheduler" to automatically run jobs at one or more regular intervals, which can be set to start and end at specific dates and times. In Autorun, you can add Query, Backup, Data Transfer, Data Synchronization, Data Generation, Charting, Import, Export, MongoDump, MongoImport, MongoExport, MapReduce from Database. You can define a list of jobs to run in a batch job and run it manually or at a specified time.
