I have an application that I plan to use RavenDB embedded with, and I'm
trying to work out a backup strategy. From a brief look it appears that I
can either use backup/restore, or import/export to achieve similar
things. I've read that:

- Export doesn't include indexes, these will be rebuilt after importing
- Restore requires an empty database, while import can be run on an
existing database
- Export includes documents created during the export, while backup will be
a snapshot of the point when the backup was started

Are there any other reasons to choose one over the other? Is there anything
that makes Export inappropriate for backups?

Paul

Import/Export works between different architectures and Esent versions
while Backup/Restore only works on the same architecture/Esent version.

Paul,
Backup is meant to do backups, it allows you to quickly restore from a
failure on the same/similar system.
It can do incremental backups as well.

Export is meant to get a dump out and that is about it. Backup is usually
much faster than an export.
