Almost everybody who initially asks for this feature later figures out
that restarting a memcached with stale date doesn't work for their
application.
So at least with the dozens of people I've talked with about this subject,
the demand drops quickly. No big push, no follow up. I guess one or
I've not seen any patches submitted that do this. The other things that do
this are either different products, supplemental products, or forks that
attempt entirely different things (but happen to do what you are after).
I expect a well implemented patch that does this would be accepted into the
That sounds more complex than simply dumping a copy of what's in
memory to disk and restoring it five minutes later when the system is
restarted. If I understand correctly, memcached doesn't offer
replication so I'd have to somehow make it do so myself - right?

I played around with a version of memcached that supported replication
and it didn't work very well. Normal get and set were ok, but
increments / decrement got all messed up during fail overs.
Just curious, how much data are you storing in your memcache ?
