Take a backup of a snapshot
Overview
Explains what the feature is or what its benefits are to the user or customer.
Feature
Taking a backup pulls a snapshot out and dumps it to persistent storage on disk, on a network mounted directory. Use this procedure when you want to create a backup.
Before creating a backup, you must identify an existing snapshot to use or take a new snapshot. The time required to take a backup depends on the data size. Taking a backup does not take long, and happens in the background while the cluster is running.
Choose the mode of backup you want to create, either full, lightweight, or dataless. The directory to which you will write the backup must not already exist. You specify the directory to use, and it will be created for you when taking the backup.
If you would like to restore from a backup, contact ThoughtSpot Support.
