Backups and Snapshots in OpenSearch on FoundryDB
· 4 min read
OpenSearch has a native snapshot API that writes index data to remote storage. FoundryDB wraps this API so you can trigger, list, and restore backups without configuring S3 credentials, IAM roles, or snapshot repositories manually. This post documents the backup flow using real metadata from a test run against an OpenSearch 2.19.1 cluster.
All commands use YOUR_SERVICE_ID and YOUR_API_TOKEN as placeholders. The FoundryDB API base is https://api.foundrydb.com.
