- gigatexal 7y agoBackups are still an enterprise feature but doing a dump is still supported in the non paid version.
- outside1234 7y agoYeah, that is not a real solution for a database of any real size, which is the only reason to use CockroachDB in the first place.
- gigatexal 7y agoI know. It’s a bummer. I’ve not tried to do block level backups for our setup in production.
- outside1234 7y agoI have - it doesn't work sadly. :(
- sandstrom 7y agoCan we lock a replica for writing (stop syncing) and do a disk-level snapshot of the disk that it's running on? As a way of doing backups? Agree with the OP, no way of doing backups is kind of a dealbreaker even for hobby use :/
- gigatexal 7y agoProblem is not every node has all data from all nodes so you couldn’t say take one node offline and do a block level backup of that node’s storage.
