In the backup script you are using
tar
to create a backup of the database when you likely could just usearangodump
orarangobackup
to do it in the intended fashion, which could also be restored with the built-in `arangorestorev as well. I anticipate that if you used one of those tools you might not have to stop and start the services to get a clean backup.
It was my understanding that arangodump and arangobackup would not maintain consistency while the database was running under load. If this is not the case, these may be better options.
It seems like arangodump
may be consistent while the database is running for newer versions but it is only a logical backup, arangobackup
does support hot backups however you have to pay for Arango Enterprise so it may just be best to stick with forming an archive of the files for complete physical backups, unless it is decided to invest in enterprise edition in the future, in which case this could be revisited.
@nedvedba if you are happy with this PR please approve it.
