Advantages of Snapshotting
- Fast Loading: RDB files are compact and efficient, resulting in faster load times during Redis server startup.
- Storage Efficiency: RDB files are relatively small in size compared to AOF (Append-Only File) files, making them suitable for disk storage.
- Crash Recovery: In case of a Redis server crash, the latest snapshot (RDB file) can be loaded to restore the data since the last snapshot.
Complete tutorial on Backup in Redis
A Redis backup is a copy of the Redis dataset that is saved to a separate location, typically on disk, to provide a means of data recovery.
- Redis provides several commands and mechanisms to perform backups, including snapshots and persistence options.
- While Redis is known for its high performance and low latency, it’s important to have a backup strategy in place to ensure data durability and recoverability in case of data loss or system failures.
