Configure automatic backup

Automatic backups are performed once a day at a specified time in the MemStore service.
They can be configured when creating a cluster or through automatic backup settings.
Automatic backup settings can only be configured when cluster mode is disabled and when the number of nodes is at least 2.

caution

During backup creation, changes to the source cluster nodes (add/delete/promote) or cluster deletion are not allowed.

During cluster creation

1. Go to KakaoCloud Console > Data Store > MemStore menu.

2. Click the [Create cluster] button.

3. Enter the automatic backup setting information in the Create cluster screen, and then click the [Create] button.

Create manual backup

You can manually create a backup in the MemStore service.

info

Backups can currently be created only under the following conditions:

• The cluster must be in Running status.
• A Replica must be present.
• No ongoing backup should exist for the cluster.
• Backup is only supported when Cluster Mode is not in use.
• There must be at least 2 nodes.

caution

During backup creation, changes to the source cluster nodes (add/delete/promote) or cluster deletion are not allowed.

1. Go to KakaoCloud Console > Data Store > MemStore menu.
2. In the Cluster menu, select the cluster to create a backup.
3. Click the Backup menu and then click the [Create Backup] button.
4. In the Create Backup popup, enter the required information and click the [Create] button.

Restore

To use the restore function in the MemStore service, a backup must be created in advance. You can create a new cluster using the backup.

info

Restoration is available only when cluster mode is disabled.

caution

If the cache size of the source backup is greater than 60% of the memory of the target cluster flavor, the restoration may fail.
