Using crontab to make a influxdb backup every week

Question

So I'm wondering how can I make a cron job to make influxdb backup every friday at midnigth. In github is an sh file that makes the backup job, here is the link: InfluxDB Backup-Restore

Thanks.

Answer 1

So I use this repo https://github.com/eckardt/influxdb-backup.sh and make the crontab job to make the periodic backup.

Answer 2

Influxdb supports backup and restore, documentation available here Should be straight forward to add a crontab for it.

Answer 3

Creating a jenkins job is also an option. Easy and stable.
