nvm on the persistence, it seems like it does support it: 'Since version 1.1 the safer alternative is an append-only file (a journal) that is written as operations modifying the dataset in memory are processed. Redis is able to rewrite the append-only file in the background in order to avoid an indefinite growth of the journal.'
