Performing backup and recovery
Backups are made to secure the information that is stored in your database files. If your database files become corrupted or they are lost due to a system failure, you can restore the database from the backup files. To ensure that data is secure in the event of a system failure, back up the master database (and possibly the replica databases) regularly.
solidDB supports both local backups and backups made over the network, that is, network backups.
A local backup produces a copy of the current logical database, which might consist of multiple physical files.
A network backup does the same local backup except that the backup database is sent over the network to the NetBackup server.
The following topics describe how to back up your solidDB databases and recover from system failure.
For guidelines for backing up and restoring the master and replica databases, see Performing backup and recovery of master and replica databases.
