i was using http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadingdata.html with a script which run everyday from a server but i switched to HRD and im using namespaces so im thinking to implement something myself where i store dicts of the entities in the blobstore and download those.

i would be happy to hear that there is a better solution to achieve this.

I need a solution too.

Would it be practical to use the migration tool?  (Obviously not finishing the migration.) Just keep a second app as the hot spare, and periodically sync.

Where is your sense of trust? :-)

I was thinking of setting up a cron job on a server at home, and setting a daily backup... And then sending a weekly archive off site somewhere...

But then I was thinking, hang on, what I really want here is a nice web app that pulls down a copy of the data store every day/hour/week whatever, and, if things get foobar, I can go in and click a button to restore my app. And then I was thinking that maybe other folks would have this need as well.

How about it? Would anyone be willing to pay say $5 a month for access to a web tool that let you backup and restore your GAE datastore?

Regards,

John

yes if it includes the blobstore. otherwise i would have only half of my data.

Would Python API support only be okay?

[N. Rosencrantz]

I could sync to mysql but not the blobstore using approcket (>10000 entities.) I don't use much old data anyway so I'd be backing up large amounts I'd never need.

I've started working on a service to provide easy backups and restores for GAE datastores. If anyone is interested, feel free to singup at gaebackup.com, and I'll send you a beta invite when it launches.

http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/msg/09e41a73e8ccd32b
has some background on the issue (but terrible fomating).

I'd love to have a solution like this. However, no offense,

I wouldnt trust any non-fortune 500 company. So I wouldnt

give my data out.

https://gist.github.com/950846 is really worth reading if you are interested in backups.

Does anyone do what joshua suggested?

"Would it be practical to use the migration tool?  (Obviously not finishing the migration.) Just keep a second app as the hot spare, and periodically sync."
