Cluster Backup

One important function for any database is backing it up. Aerospike allows you to do backups while the cluster is still operating. This is done one namespace at a time. The output will be spread throughout a set of text files in a directory of the admin's choosing.

You can also use the command line version of the backup program.

For Aerospike with security enabled the user needs to have sys-admin and read roles in order to access this functionality.

	Click on the "Manage" at the top.
	Click on "Cluster Backup" on the left.
	Enter the information for the backup. The username and password for the server that will be running the backup.
	As an advanced option, you may opt to backup only a specific set of data.
	The backup priority can be set to higher or lower in order to minimize impact to the database.
