Hey guys, I need to find out if if it's necessary to enable message persistence in order to backup RabbitMQ message queues. I believe it is, but I would like some confirmation on that.
The reason I ask is that we are using RabbitMQ within a PaaS system known as Pivotal Cloud Foundry. We'd like to backup our rabbitMQ nodes at the vmware level. But PCF does not have the ability to enable message persistence in it's rabbitMQ service. So if that's the case where message persistance would need to be on, the only solution would probably be to replicate to a RabbitMQ cluster that sits outside of PCF via shovel or federation, and enable message persistence in the external cluster. Then we could backup that cluster. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!! Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B
