PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 Kubernetes User Guide

Log truncation considerations

MySQL generates binary log files in the MySQL persistent volume claim (PVC) when you perform application-consistent backups and restores. These log files follow the naming convention mysql-bin.xxx and are part of the MySQL application log.

You may have a requirement to truncate these log files for management purposes. However, these files contain both application-consistent information and other customer-specific information. The PowerProtect Data Manager cannot intercept the customer-specific portions of the log, nor determine where to truncate around this information.

Instead, you must review the database log files and decide where to manually truncate the log, if appropriate. Dell EMC recommends that you manage these binary log files in concert with the other MySQL log files.
