The Vertica test suite includes a series of tests that focus on database protection and recovery. These tests include database backup, database restore, and database revive tests, as described in the following table.
Table 7. Data protection and recovery tests
Test | Description |
Database backup test | The backup test makes a backup of the database to a different bucket, like a snapshot in time. |
Database restore test | The restore test restores a database that was previously backed up. |
Database revive test | The revive test simulates that you lost your physical hosts and built a replacement cluster. In EON mode with separation for compute and storage, you can change the hardware and then revive the database from communal storage to the new hardware. |
