What is in the bamboo backup?

Gretchen

What exactly is in the backup? Why would a database backup (sql server for example) not be sufficient. (I'm arguing with server admin about this). I need ammo. And probably a flak vest. Maybe a helmet.

I know the backup has config data but does the config change that often? Is it updated everytime you modify a build? What specifically would change in the backup that would make it important to run the backup frequently.

A database backup will only be sufficient if you also back up the home directory separately. For large instances, a checkpointed, journaled database (with standard db backup procedures) together with an FS-backup is the recommended backup strategy.

It's fastest, incremental and does not involve a Bamboo outage.

Well artifacts for 1.

A database backup should be sufficient for daily backups. But you should back up Bamboo for configuration information - including the details of your database (!). The config information does not change that much - mainly when you change something through the Administration page. Plans and their details are stored in the database.

Can you go into this in more detail? Are there official Bamboo docs around setting up this approach?

@Przemyslaw Bruski would it be possible to clarify on the questions @Matt Shelton brought up please?
