GlusterFS Backups

You can back up and restore the data on a GlusterFS cluster.

Backup Types

The following backup types are available for GlusterFS data:

• Full

• Incremental

• Differential

• Synthetic full

  Note: We recommend that you run synthetic full backups with multiple streams, because synthetic full backups run as single-stream backups are slower. Also, if you run synthetic full backups with single stream, you cannot run restores with multiple streams and nodes. For more information on multiple-stream synthetic full backups, see Configuring Multiple Streams for Synthetic Full Backups.
