Redis backups

The redis strategy captures the pre-BGSAVE LASTSAVE timestamp, triggers BGSAVE, polls until the timestamp changes, then docker cps /data/dump.rdb out and gzips it. Restore stops the container, docker cps the decompressed RDB back into /data/, and restarts.

Filename format: {containerName}-{YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS}.rdb.gz.

Configure via compose labels

services:
  cache:
    image: redis:7
    labels:
      simpledeploy.backup.strategy: "redis"
      simpledeploy.backup.schedule: "0 */6 * * *"
      simpledeploy.backup.target: "local"
      simpledeploy.backup.retention: "12"
