The document discusses the importance of maintaining backups for services like Couchbase Server clusters and explores various remote storage solutions for safeguarding this data, such as Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier, and Minio, an open-source object storage solution that can be deployed in-house. Minio is highlighted for its ability to protect against hardware failure and data corruption through erasure coding. The text provides a detailed guide on setting up and using Minio for backup storage, including configuring the Minio server and client, creating storage buckets, and transferring data using commands like mirroring and archiving with time-stamped backups. It emphasizes that object storage is often used for write-once, read-many scenarios and suggests using a cron task for scheduled backups. For more detailed instructions on creating Couchbase cluster backups, the document refers readers to the Couchbase Developer Portal.
