Setting up backup locations
Full and object-level backups reside on backup hosts, the computer systems on which backups and archives are stored.
Caution
It is important to secure backup locations and strictly limit access to backups to users who are already permitted to access all data in the database. Compromising a backup means compromising the database.Full and object-level backups reside on backup hosts, the computer systems on which backups and archives are stored. On the backup hosts, Vertica saves backups in a specific backup location (directory).
You must set up your backup hosts before you can create backups.
The storage format type at your backup locations must support fcntl lockf (POSIX) file locking.
