Hi Jonathan,

In the documentation for Sequoia, it describes using a table in the DB for the log file. Is there any way to save this information to the disk?

If you are talking about the recovery log, it is stored in a dedicated database instance, so it should be persisted on disk unless you are using a in-memory database.

Is there more detailed documentation for setting up backups and restores? Like how to set up the backups to happen at a regular interval automatically? The admin guide shows a manual process for backing up. I have to be able to automatically backup the DB, restore backends after a failure, and purge the log file. My users cannot be responsible for this management.

You can script the console and invoke the console through the crontab or any automation mechanism. You can prepare the scripts for your users and they can be invoked at will.

Also, how do I get a recovery log for each backend on a virtual database? If I can’t back them up simultaneously, how can I restore them? Does the log file record which backend corresponds to each checkpoint?

There is one recovery log per virtual database per controller. The controller keeps track of each checkpoint for each backend it manages (in the backend table of the recovery log database). All backends attached to the same controller share the same recovery log.

Hope this helps,
Emmanuel
