Vector database backup strategies ensure data durability and enable recovery from failures, corruption, or accidental deletions. Essential for production systems handling critical embedding data.
# Milvus
collection.create_snapshot()
# Qdrant
client.create_snapshot(collection_name="my_collection")
# Export to file
vectors = collection.query(limit=1000000)
save_to_file(vectors, "backup.json")
# Import from file
data = load_from_file("backup.json")
collection.insert(data)
