Thanks for the reply, Ben. I looked at the link you sent, but if I understand it correctly, this command creates a TSDB snapshot, probably for extraction or copy purposes. Some sort of quiesce command is what would normally be used for the VM backup. I could always shut down Prometheus, but I'd rather not, if I don't have to.
Incidentally, how are full VM backups inconsistent with best practices? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
