As of May 10, 2022, CockroachDB v20.2 is no longer supported. For more details, refer to the Release Support Policy.
The SHOW BACKUP statement lists the contents of a backup created with the BACKUP statement.
Required privileges
Only members of the admin role can run SHOW BACKUP. By default, the root user belongs to the admin role.
Synopsis
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
SHOW BACKUP location |
Show the details of the backup in the given location. See the example below. |
SHOW BACKUP SCHEMAS location |
Show the schema details of the backup in the given location. See the example below. |
SHOW BACKUPS IN location |
New in v20.2: List the full backup's subdirectories in the given location. See the example below. |
SHOW BACKUP subdirectory IN location |
New in v20.2: List the full and incremental backups that are stored in the given full backup's subdirectory within a location. See the example below. |
kv_option_list |
Control the behavior of SHOW BACKUP with a comma-separated list of these options. |
Options
| Option | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
privileges |
N/A | List which users and roles had which privileges on each table in the backup. |
encryption_passphrase |
STRING |
The passphrase used to encrypt the files (BACKUP manifest and data files) that the BACKUP statement generates. |
Response
The following fields are returned:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
database_name |
The database name. |
parent_schema_name |
New in v20.2: The name of the parent schema. |
object_name |
New in v20.2: The name of the database, table, type, or schema. Note: This column was called table_name in previous versions of CockroachDB. Note: This is a breaking change. |
object_type |
New in v20.2: The type of object: database, table, type, or schema. |
start_time |
The time of the earliest data encapsulated in the backup. Note that this only displays for incremental backups. For a full backup, this is NULL. |
end_time |
The time to which data can be restored. This is equivalent to the AS OF SYSTEM TIME of the backup. If the backup was not taken with revision history, the end_time is the only time the data can be restored to. If the backup was taken with revision history, the end_time is the latest time the data can be restored to. |
size_bytes |
The size of the backup, in bytes. |
create_statement |
The CREATE statement used to create table(s), view(s), or sequence(s) that are stored within the backup. This displays when SHOW BACKUP SCHEMAS is used. Note that tables with references to foreign keys will only display foreign key constraints if the table to which the constraint relates to is also included in the backup. |
is_full_cluster |
Whether the backup is of a full cluster or not. |
path |
New in v20.2: The list of the full backup's subdirectories. This field is returned for SHOW BACKUPS IN LOCATION only. The path format is <year>/<month>/<day>-<timestamp>. |
Example
Show a backup
> SHOW BACKUP 's3://test/backup-test?AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=[placeholder]&AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=[placeholder]';

Show an encrypted backup
Depending on how the backup was encrypted, use the encryption_passphrase option and the same passphrase that was used to create the backup:
> SHOW BACKUP 's3://test/backup-test?AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=[placeholder]&AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=[placeholder]'
WITH encryption_passphrase = 'password123';
Or, use the kms option and the same KMS URI that was used to create the backup:

WITH kms = 'aws:///arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789:key/1234-abcd-5678-efgh-90ij?AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=123456&AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=123456®ION=us-east-1';
