⁠VictoriaMetrics vmbackupmanager

⁠What is vmbackupmanager?

vmbackupmanager is a small daemon designed to run alongside your VictoriaMetrics instance (as a sidecar or separate container) to automate the backup process. Instead of manually running vmbackup, you can deploy vmbackupmanager to periodically create backups on a defined schedule and automatically clean up old ones.

It provides a "set it and forget it" solution for disaster recovery, creating snapshots and sending them to local or cloud storage destinations like S3, GCS, or Azure Blob Storage.

⁠How to Use This Image

docker run -d --name vmbackupmanager \
  -v /path/to/backups:/backups \
  victoriametrics/vmbackupmanager:latest \
  -storageDataPath=http://<victoriametrics-addr>:8428/api/v1/snapshot/create \
  -dst="fs:///backups" \
  -backup-interval="24h"

This example will create a new backup in the /backups directory on the host every 24 hours.

⁠Configuration

• -storageDataPath: (Required) The snapshot creation API endpoint of the source VictoriaMetrics instance.

• -dst: (Required) The destination for the backup (e.g., fs:///path, s3://bucket/path, gcs://bucket/path).

• -backup-interval: The interval between new backups (e.g., 1h for one hour, 24h for daily). Default: 1h.

• -max-backups: The maximum number of backups to keep. Older backups will be automatically deleted. Default: 0 (keep all backups).
