I have been attempting to create a viable period backup strategy for MonetDB and have had little success to date. Our database is way too big to use msqldump, so our only option is the one outlined here: https://www.monetdb.org/Documentation/UserGuide/FastDumpRestore. I follow those steps and use rsync to do an incremental backup of the dbfarm to another device (from fast SSD to RAID5 array). That works fine, until it doesn’t, in which case the back up gets corrupted somehow and MonetDB won’t start from the backup. That is the state I am currently in. This is the error that I am getting: !FATAL: logger_load: BBPrename to sql_snapshots_bid failed Any help on 1. Fixing the existing backup, and/or 2. Helping me understand a better way to do period, incremental backups.
