Backup and Restore

Backups

InfluxDB has the ability to snapshot an instance at a point-in-time and restore it. All backups are full backups. InfluxDB does not yet support incremental backups. There are two types of data to backup, the metastore and the metrics themselves. The metastore is backed up in its entirety. The metrics are backed up per-database in a separate operation from the metastore backup.

Note: Backups are not interchangeable between OSS InfluxDB and InfluxEnterprise. You cannot restore an OSS backup to an InfluxEnterprise data node, nor can you restore an InfluxEnterprise backup to an OSS instance.
