In the exciting event that your application or riak goes rogue and
deletes everything, bitcask will allow you to recover amazing,
life-saving amounts of data from its log-structured format.
ASK ME HOW I KNOW. :-P
Uh, more typically, I've heard that FS-level snapshots of /var/lib/riak
or simple tarballs work well. riak-admin backup works fairly well below,
say, 50 million keys, but can take several hours at that scale.

Hey All,
I'm sizing up some database options for a fairly ambitious app I'm
building out for a client of mine. I've read a good amount of the
available docs and have toyed around with Riak enough to know that it's
one of my finalists (one of two, to be precise).
Before I set off building this app, there was one thing I wanted to ask
about: backups. Specifically, what strategies/methods are people using
to backup the data in their Riak clusters? I've worked with this client
enough to know that they won't sign off on a relatively new database
technology without knowing that the backup story was rock-solid
I'd really love to use Riak, and this is basically my last hurdle. Any
anecdotes/examples/pointers to blog posts that my Googling has yet to
uncover would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
MK
