Backup MySQL to R2
Just deployed
Deploys the standard Railway MySQL plus a container which backs up that database to Cloudflare R2.
To set up properly, modify the backups service to:
- Disable restarts
- Set a Cron schedule to back up as often as you'd like in settings
Internally, this uses mydumper to dump the database quickly (saving you compute cost over mysqldump) and rclone to sync the data with a folder in an R2 bucket.
You can modify the generated rclone config to support virtually any other target for the backup.
