Snapshots

Snapshots save the current state of the database for later restoration. They are created automatically during the server's operation but they can also be manually managed while the server is offline. Configuration options for automatic snapshot triggers and intervals are discussed in the chapter Configuration File. The subcommand snapshot is provided for managing snaphshots.

Examples

Creating a named snapshot

tentris snapshot create my_snapshot

Note: Not providing a name will create a snapshot with a timestamp as its name.

Listing all snapshots

tentris snapshot list

Verifying the integrity of a snapshot

tentris snapshot verify my_snapshot

Deleting a snapshot

tentris snapshot destroy my_snapshot

Roll back to a snapshot

The subcommand rollback can be used to roll the database's state back to the state of a particular snapshot.

tentris rollback my_snapshot

⚠️ Warning: This discards all changes that were made to the database after the snapshot was created, unless there is a newer snapshot.
