How can I automate Redis backups?

You can automate Redis backups using cron jobs or Redis's built-in RDB and AOF features. Would you like to know more about either?

Tell me more about using cron jobs for backups.

Sure! You can create a cron job that runs a script to back up your Redis data at specified intervals. Do you need help with the script?

Yes, please provide a sample script.

Here's a simple bash script:

#!/bin/bash

# Define backup directory and filename
BACKUP_DIR=/path/to/backup
FILENAME=redis-backup-$(date +%F).rdb

# Run the Redis dump command
redis-cli save

# Move the dump file to the backup directory
mv /var/lib/redis/dump.rdb $BACKUP_DIR/$FILENAME

You can schedule this script in your crontab.
