I am not sure there is a "normal" procedure, as every application is different. You have to look at what your requirements are, how does your application get updated, and other factors, and then plan accordingly. For example, if your application only updates one forest per day, then on those days, you might be able to only back up those forests. Also, how hard is it to redo some processing to get back to where you were before from your last backup? What is the cost of not being able to get back there?
In any backup plan, you have to take these sorts of factors into consideration and make tradeoffs based on system resources, time, budget, etc. This is also true if you are doing incremental backups, btw, although the costs can be less. Hope that helps. -Danny -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tomas Groth Christensen Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 5:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] Incremental backup Hi, Thank you for the answer! I'm a bit sorry that incremental backup isn't supported. Since it means that it is very expensive in terms of time and bandwidth to copy the backup to a remote location when a certain size is reached. What is the "normal" procedure for backup of ML to a remote location? Is it really necessary to copy the entire dump every time?
