How do I correctly backup rustfs ?

[vnghia]

Hi. Thank you for this software.

Currently I dont see anywhere how I could backup rustfs correctly. I would like to ask:

• Is it sufficient to just backup the data on disk /mnt/rustfs/data ?
• Could I do an online backup, i.e backup without stopping the rustfs node ?

Hi @vnghia ,

You can use any backup software that supports the s3 protocol.

For example:
restic, veeam, commvault

Hi, I dont mean to use rustfs with backup software but I want to backup rustfs internal data and restore it if there are errors

Hi @vnghia ,

Does RustFS's internal data refer to: IAM and bucket configuration?

Could you specify the scope of the internal data?

[vnghia]

I think I will want all the internal data of rustfs. For example I want to backup all the data that is required for rustfs functionality. I think that will include but not limited to:

• Bucket data (including object versions)
• Bucket configuration
• IAM configuration
• Key/Token
• ...

Yes, this task is in our Todo.
These functions will be exported and imported soon.
