Google cloud SQL backup ignore certain tables


Is there a way to ignore certain tables when google cloud takes backup of MySQL data (second generation).


Solution

  • When a backup is performed on a Cloud SQL Second Generation instance, there is no way of selecting which tables you want to save and/or ignore there. Have a look at this SO post which might be helpful for you and mentions backup/restore tools that work with Cloud SQL.
