Redis backups

With Redis cloud databases, cluster backups are created automatically — you don't have to configure them yourself and keep track of backups.

The WAL-G tool is used to create cluster backups.

Backups are stored in RDB format isolated from other users' backups.

Backups cannot be uploaded. Automatic creation of backups cannot be disabled.

Backup schedule⁠

  • Full cluster backups are created once a day.
  • Incremental (delta) backups are not created.

Backup retention period⁠

Backups are stored for 7 days, after that they are deleted.

Backups of remote clusters are kept for 7 days from the date of creation. From the backup you can cluster recovery.

Restore the cluster⁠

You can restore a cluster from a backup to any point in time in the last 7 days.

When restoring, a new database cluster is created — you can change the name, configuration (with the same or larger disk size), number of nodes, network and DBMS settings. The DBMS type and version cannot be changed.

  1. In control panel go to Cloud platform → Databases.
  2. On the menu. cluster select Restore.
  3. Choose how to restore the cluster — from the last available backup or from any backup created in the last 7 days.
  4. Optional: to save in a new cluster displacement policy check the box Apply a policy of displacing the original cluster to the new cluster.
  5. You will be redirected to the page for creating a new cluster. If necessary, change the cluster settings (see the instructions for details) Create a cluster) and press Create a cluster.
  6. Once the cluster is rebuilt, the node addresses will change — change them in your application.
