It isn't free as I have billing enabled and always use up my free allowance each day. Regardless, how exactly is being a "beta and free service" a valid reason for accepting critical features such as backup/ restore are not available?
I'm surprised people haven't moaned about this more regularly which leads me to believe people must have found some kind of solution. Can a Googler please pitch in on this discussion and offer some advice? I need to know what would happen if my data were to become corrupt/lost etc. On Apr 26, 12:18 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > What do you expect for a beta and free service? > > ----- Reply message ----- > From: "mscwd01" <[email protected]> > Date: Mon, Apr 25, 2011 6:44 pm > Subject: [appengine-java] Backup & restore of my app - Is this really a joke > or am I missing something? > To: "Google App Engine for Java" <[email protected]> > > Hey > > Okay, I have a simple request - I want to backup all of my apps data > on my local machine so that in the event of my data becoming corrupt > or lost I can do a restore. > > So I search "backup/restore on gae" and only really find the bulk > loader as a solution.
