How to split the data over a period of time.

[Harikrishnan R]

Hi,

     My application uses couch-db for storing events. Daily on an average
my database size increases up-to 4GB.  So If I keep the database for 3-6
months my disk space

get reduced.

What is the best strategy for

  1) taking the backup of couch-db after a period of time.

  2) how to retrieve the data from backup and from the current on demand.

  3) When to index the documents.


 Please guide me.
