mc replicate resync
Syntax
The mc replicate resync
command resynchronizes all objects in the
specified MinIO bucket to a remote replication target.
This command requires first configuring the remote bucket target using the
mc replicate add
command. You must specify the resulting
remote ARN as part of running mc replicate resync
.
This command supports rebuilding a MinIO deployment using an active-active replication remote as the “backup” source. See the following tutorials for more information on active-active replication:
The following command resynchronizes the content of the
mydata
bucket on the myminio
MinIO deployment to the remote
MinIO deployment associated to the specified --remote-bucket
:
mc replicate resync start \
--remote-bucket "arn:minio:replication::d3c086c7-1d64-40c2-954b-fe8222907033:mydata" \
myminio/mydata
The command has the following syntax:
mc [GLOBALFLAGS] replicate resync start|status \
--remote-bucket "string" \
[--older-than "string"] \

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.
Parameters
- ALIAS
- Required
The alias of the MinIO deployment and full path to the bucket or bucket prefix which MinIO uses as the replication source. For example, the following command starts replication using the
data
bucket on the MinIO deployment associated to theprimary
alias.mc replicate resync start primary/data --remote-bucket "ARN"
- start
- Required
Starts the resynchronization procedure using the specified
bucket
as the source and the--remote-bucket
as the remote target.Mutually exclusive with
mc replicate resync status
.
- status
- Required
Returns the status of resynchronization on the specified
bucket
to all remote targets.Include the
--remote-bucket
argument to filter the status output to only the specified remote target.
- --remote-bucket
- Required
Specify the ARN for the destination deployment and bucket.
You can retrieve the ARN using
mc replicate ls
with the--json
option. Therule.Destination.Bucket
field contains the ARN for any given replication rule.
- older-than
- Optional
Specify a duration in days where MinIO only resynchronizes objects older than the specified duration.
Only valid with
mc replicate resync start
.
Global Flags
This command supports any of the global flags.
Examples
Resynchronize Remote Replication Target from Source Bucket
The following mc replicate resync
command resynchronizes all objects
on the specified source bucket to the remote target regardless of their
replication status:
mc replicate resync start --remote-bucket "arn:minio:replication::UUID:data" primary/data
Replace
primary/data
with theALIAS
and full bucket path for which to create the replication configuration.Replace the
--remote-bucket
value with the ARN of the remote target. Usemc replicate ls
to list all configured remote replication targets.
Behavior
S3 Compatibility
The mc commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with MinIO and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.
MinIO provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported. While mc commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
