Backing up multi-node crate cluster

Question

I have seen docs on how to import data but how do I do backups?

Is there tooling, is there an API, or is it safe to copy the files on the file system?

Answer 1

exporting data is done via COPY TO. Exports can go to the local filesystem or amazon s3.

every node containing data will export in parallel. you can export to a network attached storage or s3 or simply copy the exported files to another host using scp.
