The service runs in the cluster and can be scheduled to invoke periodic backups of data and indexes. It provides a user-friendly interface for creating, editing, and managing multiple backup plans, as well as inspecting and restoring backups. With the Backup Service, administrators can schedule backups, run immediate backups, inspect backups, delete backups, and perform restores, among other features. The service also integrates with cloud storage and uses the REST API, making it easy to manage backups and restore data from a centralized location. Overall, the Couchbase Backup Service simplifies backup management, reducing the burden of manual tasks and allowing teams to focus on more strategic work.
