> @wchevreuil I have answers to some of your questions: > > > 1. Is this a per-table configuration? > > Backups need to be enabled in the HBase conf file via `hbase.backup.enable`. For continuous backups, a backup WAL directory needs to be set via `hbase.backup.continuous.wal.dir`. Backups can be done on a per-table basis. > Will this trigger backups on all existing tables? > > 2. Do we need to define a specific replication peer for this? > > A replication peer is defined by default as `continuous_backup_replication_peer` using the [CONTINUOUS_BACKUP_REPLICATION_PEER](https://github.com/apache/hbase/pull/7445/files#diff-d1c333e7c915fb30107d24e4cf37235a5b23758eb3f95013fbf9db1c582315cdR149) constant. > Can you elaborate further how this peer is defined? > > 4. Do we keep pitr wal files indefinitely? > > No, WALs outside of the PITR window get cleaned up automatically. They are also removed when the backup is deleted. This is tracked in [HBASE-28992](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-28992) > Ok, so we can only do actually PITR within that window period. Can you point me to the code in this PR where this is implemented? > > 7. Can we include doc changes within this PR? > > I believe that is the plan.
