I just joined a company that solves this very problem: https://www.delphix.com/ https://www.delphix.com/
What you described is literally what we offer -- the ability to go backwards and forwards in time and create branches, bookmarks, and refreshes with very little overhead. [Edit: This is all for databases that by default, as you noted, don't do any of this stuff.]
We aren't (yet) super well known, but we've got a number of things in flight that should change that :)
And if you're curious how this magic works, the hint is: we have a number of really smart ZFS contributors on the engineering team.
- smilliken 9y agoHow does it work? Is it filesystem snapshots? I know it's unreasonable to expect, but do you support forking/merging? What about incremental or logical replication?
- Lightbody 9y agoFilesystem snapshots are part of it. Forking yes. Merging no. You can configure it to ingest incremental backups as well as realtime transaction logs, which means you can go backwards/forward in time all the way down to the individual transaction. It's quite cool!
