A snapshot is a read-only copy of a database at a specific point in time, crucial for backups, disaster recovery, and auditing. For database professionals, snapshots provide a reliable way to track changes and restore data efficiently.
Snapshots help in minimizing downtime, enabling point-in-time recovery, and supporting reporting needs without impacting live performance. They are widely used in MySQL, PostgreSQL, and cloud-based DBaaS solutions.
Challenges include storage management, performance overhead, and ensuring consistency. Our blogs provide best practices, troubleshooting tips, and optimization strategies.
