Hi Community,
We have a use case for single instance InfluxDB servers that will reside on VMs on-prem, with the possibility of including the software clustered on-prem also in the future.
As far as I can tell there is no information to backup InfluxDB that I can find in our CMV DOCS or on this Community forum, does anyone use this and have some good recommendation.
The influxDB comes with backup and recovery tool sets, so I would imagine using the tools to create backups and ingesting the folders into Commvault via file backups frequently might only the be the case here, and couple that with a VM backup of the OS vDisk.
Anyone lese have a view or working scenarios with decent RPO?
Thx for any replies

Hey
Will see if anyone has a solution - I have not had the need to protect influxDB, and have only used it a few times as part of some lab grafana projects. Looking at their docs, your approach seems like the best way:
https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.7/reference/cli/influx/backup
I would run a VM backup with pre-script to execute the influx backup and then have VSA capture the result as part of the VM. This way you can restore the VM and have a batch file ready to go to run the recovery process. If you need a more aggressive RPO, you could leverage VM replication or something like file live sync or CDR.
+1Thanks for the reply Damian, that is a good option, the RPO isnt decided, as soon as that is known, will come back with an answer and close this thread.
