Re: Ignite backup/restore Cache-wise

[Stanislav Lukyanov <st...@gmail.com>]

GridGain Snapshots allow you to take a backup on a live, working cluster.
If you can allow to stop the cluster activity while snapshot is being taken
you can:
- Deactive the cluster (e.g. control.sh --deactivate)
- Copy the persistence files (you would need work/binary_meta,
work/marshaller, work/db)
- Activate the cluster

To restore the data:
- Deactivate the cluster
- Place the backup files to the original location
- Activate the cluster

You may try to exclude certain caches from work/db, or only copy certain
caches, but be aware that this is not a supported use case so you may need
to figure our the correct action sequence that would work for you.
