Hi Tim Not sure if you are aware, but you can schedule GoCD's backup which will prevent interactions temporarily while it takes a database backup, so not sure you need to "schedule downtime" as much as schedule the backups in the middle of the morning and set user expectations if the server is otherwise expected to be up 24/7.
For a rough rule of thumb, the build.gocd.org database is ~5GB and anecdotally I think takes a minute or so to complete, zipping to a 1GB DB file. This will likely vary depending on the resources your GoCD server has (as the H2 BACKUP operation is done in memory) and the file system speed for where your DB is stored and your output "artifacts" dir. -Chad On Tue, May 24, 2022 at 9:58 PM Tim Stevens <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, I am new to GoCD and want to take a backup of our rather large H2 > database +4 gigs.
