To ensure that your sensitive data remains secure at all times against viruses, user errors, and computer crashes, and to prevent loss of important data, you need to backup the data. Backups make it simple for you to protect your data by copying and storing it somewhere other than your computer hard drive. Therefore, it is crucial to secure your files regularly so that in cases of emergency, your computer data is still accessible.
RavenDB supports backup and restore data. Backup operations are done asynchronously and can be performed while the database is online and accepting read and write requests. Using RavenDB backup and restore features has some benefits such as backing up index results, while backward compatibility is not supported and it is strict about OS compatibility between the machine on which the backup was created and the machine it was restored to.
