SAVE

Syntax​

SAVE [RDB|DF]

Time complexity: O(N) where N is the total number of keys in all databases

ACL categories: @admin, @slow, @dangerous

The SAVE commands performs a save of the dataset producing a point in time snapshot of all the data inside the Dragonfly instance, in the form of a set of DFS files.

Use SAVE RDB to save the snapshot in form of an RDB file instead. Please refer to the persistence documentation for detailed information about RDB files.

Flags​

  • df_snapshot_format - Set true to save dump in Dragonfly file format (true by default).
  • dbfilename - The file name to save and load the database. To generate a file with a timestamp, set the macro {timestamp} in the filename, e.g. dump-{timestamp}. The macro will be replaced with a timestamp of the local time in a lexicographically sorted format. The default filename is dump-{timestamp}.
  • snapshot_cron - Generate snapshots periodically. The argument is a cron format (e.g. 0 0 * * *, */5 * * * *)

Return​

Simple string reply: The commands returns OK on success.
