The new year brought some exciting updates to SpiceDB's backup and restore functionality. The `zed` CLI tool has been improved with a simple and intuitive interface for creating, restoring, extracting, and redacting backups. SpiceDB's backup data is stored in an Apache Avro container, which efficiently stores schema, snapshot revision, and relationships. New features include conflict handling, automatic retries, and the ability to restore subsets of a backup. Additionally, `zed` now supports obfuscating or "redacting" sensitive information from backups, making it easier to share or use for testing purposes. The tool also includes context-aware shell completion, allowing users to construct commands more effectively based on their existing schema.
