Backup strategy

Hi

Anyone using any backup strategy (other than replication) for any
point-in-time restore ? Any recommendations on best practices ?

Lars,
thanks for the great post. However I am using HBase 0.90.6 :(

What is the best approach in my case?
My data is not very big 100GB divided into 4 tables. I don't need daily backup,
weekly maybe. But I need to be able to fully restore the state (all data in a
consistent state) if my migration goes wrong.

Thanks,
Pablo

It will depend on the size of the data, how many maps you run, and how
many disk drives you have available on the destination end. Also
replication may play a role. We'll backup things up with a replication
factor of 1, and then when the backup is complete we'll increase it to
three.

Thanks Carlos. Do you have any rough estimates on timings on snapshot ?
