I'm a Systems Reliability and DevOps engineer for Netdata Inc. When not working, I enjoy studying linguistics and history, playing video games, and cooking all kinds of international cuisine.
We actually don't handle many databases, and luckily have near certain periods of downtime when they're sitting idle. Given this and the fact that we're stuck dealing with software written by idiots who didn't understand the concept of automation, we just back up the databases like we do any other files on the systems (albeit while forcing a commit just prior to the backup), by backing them up using Borg (with the data that needs backed up accessed remotely by the backup server when dealing with Windows systems) and then synchronizing the Borg repository off-site using rclone.
