Vladimir Rodionov commented on HBASE-16574: ------------------------------------------- TTL of a system table controls for how long we will keep all backup meta and backup images (because, they can not be resolved/used without meta) in a system. Default, 1 year, will allow to keep backup meta and backups for 1 year, that can be too low for some customers, i.e. there are some requirements to keep data for at least 5 years in finance and banking AFAIK. > Add backup / restore feature to refguide > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-16574 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16574 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ted Yu > Assignee: Frank Welsch > Labels: backup > Fix For: 2.0.0-beta-1 > > Attachments: B&R command-line tools and configuration (updated).pdf, > Backup-and-Restore-Apache_19Sep2016.pdf, HBASE-16574.001.patch, > HBASE-16574.002.patch, HBASE-16574.003.branch-2.patch, > hbase-book-16574.003.pdf, hbase_reference_guide.v1.pdf > > > This issue is to add backup / restore feature description to hbase refguide. > The description should cover: > scenarios where backup / restore is used > backup / restore commands and sample usage > considerations in setup -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
