Context

  • I’m using redis. The database is < 100 MB.
  • However, I want to make daily backups.
  • I’m also running on Ubuntu Server 12.04

When type in:

redis-cli save

I don’t know where dump.rdb is saved to (since redis is started as a service and not in my local directory).

Questions:

  1. How do I find where redis is saving my dump.rdb to?

  2. Is there someway that I can specify a filename to ‘save’, so I type in something like:

    redis-cli save ~/db-2012-06-24.rdb

Thanks

    You can set the file location on the redis.conf file (which you start the server with)
    look at the server configuration for that:

    # The filename where to dump the DB
dbfilename dump.rdb

    finding the location of the currently saved file, it depends on how you start the server – where you have the redis-server file – i think you can find it with ps -e aux | grep redis or ps -e | grep redis
