[MonetDB-users] Best backup strategy

Hi there, Thanks again for your last replies regarding the insertion into base. Using COPY INTO worked like a charm. A production deployment means : - Backup - High availability So my questions here, not addressed in the online docs are : - Regarding backup, is there a way to make a consistent backup (I mean putting the DB in a "backuping state", and save/archive the files) - To allow for high availability, can I use clusterization ? Can horizontal scalability be achieved through clusterization ? Thank you !
