Choosing Between AOF and RDB
When deciding between AOF and RDB persistence, consider the trade-offs between durability, recovery speed, storage requirements, and write performance.
- AOF is generally recommended for applications where durability and granular recovery are critical, even though it comes with the drawback of larger file sizes and potential performance impact.
- RDB, on the other hand, might be more suitable for applications prioritizing faster recovery times and smaller storage footprints. The choice ultimately depends on your specific use case and requirements.
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.
