POST /cloud/v2/universes/{universe_id}/data-stores:snapshot — openapi

Snapshot Data Stores

Takes a new snapshot of the data stores in an experience.

After a snapshot, the next write to every key in the experience will create a versioned backup of the previous data, regardless of the time of the last write.

In effect, all data current at the time of the snapshot is guaranteed to be available as a versioned backup for at least 30 days.

Snapshots can be taken once per UTC day, per experience. If the latest snapshot was taken within the same UTC day, this operation is a no-op and the time of the latest snapshot will be returned.

For more information on using snapshots, see the Data stores Engine guide.
