kandi X-RAY | XenServer-snapshot-backup Summary

XenServer-snapshot-backup is a Shell library typically used in Backup Recovery, Continuous Backup applications. XenServer-snapshot-backup has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

The script creates a snapshot of a running VM on a configurable schedule, and then creates a template from this snapshot. It will copy all these backup templates over to a configurable storage repository, and then clean up any old backups according to a specified retention policy. These backups are full backups, so if you have a 10GB VM and keep 7 previous copies you will need a total of 80GB disk space on your backup VM. Non-running VMs, and those not configured (as detailed below) will be skipped. Important: See After backing up each VM, you will end up with a new VDI, so you may need to manually coalesce your VDIs again to reclaim disk space. This appears to have been fixed in 5.6FP1, however.

How to disable azure cosmos db continious backup

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.
