kandi X-RAY | backwrap Summary

backwrap is a Shell library typically used in Backup Recovery, Continuous Backup applications. backwrap has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

A simple wrapper for creating backups written in bash. It currently supports borg and restic as backup tools. Compared to the well-known borgmatic, this wrapper follows another philosophy. It aims to have no dependencies other than bash and some utilities that are most likely to be present on every GNU/Linux system. In addition to handling regular files and directories, backwrap can automatically snapshot btrfs subvolumes before backing them up, which is a must when consistency matters (e.g. for database backups). It's configuration is very simple and should be doable in under 5 minutes. Also, backwrap integrates nicely with crontab and provides a built-in command for generating a suitable crontab entry with no effort. You specify the desired backup interval, and backwrap does the rest for you.

QUESTION

How to disable azure cosmos db continious backup

Asked 2022-Feb-22 at 10:59

I enabled the Azure cosmos DB continuous backup for one of my Cosmos DBs.
How can I disable it? It just says you have successfully enrolled in continuous backup.

I am not sure if you have seen this message in the portal when you created the account/also mentioned in the doc

"You will not be able to switch between the backup policies after the account has been created"

since you need to select either "Periodic" or "Continuous" at the creation of Cosmos Account, it becomes mandatory.

Update:

You will not see the above in portal anymore, you can Switch from "Periodic" to "Continous" on an existing account and that cannot be reverted. You can read more here.

QUESTION

Consistency of Continuous backup of Azure Cosmos DB

Asked 2021-Nov-25 at 17:15

What would be the consistency of the continuous backup of the write region if the database is using bounded staleness consistency? Will it be equivalent to strong consistent data assuming no failovers happened?

Thanks Guru

Backups made from any secondary region will have data consistency defined by the guarantees provided by the consistency level chosen. In the case of strong consistency, all secondary region backups will have completely consistent data.

Bounded staleness will have data that may have stale or inconsistent data inside the defined staleness window (minimum 300 seconds or 100k writes). Outside of that staleness window the data will be consistent.

Data for the weaker consistency levels will have no guarantees for consistency from backups in secondary regions.

QUESTION

Mongo atlas recommends cloud provider snaphots for backup - Is it effective?

Asked 2020-May-19 at 10:12

MongoDB has deprecated the continuous back up of data. It has recommended using CPS (Cloud provider snapshots). As far as I understood, snapshots isn't really going to be effective compared to continuous backup coz, if system breaks, then we can only be able to restore the data till the previous snapshot which isn't gonna make the database up-to-date or close to it atleast.

Am I missing something here in my understanding?

Cloud provider snapshots can be combined with point in time restore to give the recovery point objective you require. With oplog based restores you can get granularity of one second.
