Is it possible to schedule a job to take backup of memory segments

Detail

The Aerospike Shared-Memory Tool (ASMT) backs up and restores Aerospike shared memory segments to disk, enabling warm restart across reboots in an Aerospike Database Enterprise Edition (EE) cluster. Is it possible to schedule a job to take backup of these segments and these backup files can use if server recovered from unplanned outage?
 

Answer

ASMT tool backs up primary indexes, secondary indexes, and data stages from the server node (host machine) memory to the file system. After the backup, the server node can reboot without the time-consuming stage of rebuilding the indexes. However, ASMT can not be run as a scheduled job, because you cannot use ASMT while the Aerospike Database process is running.

Notes

It is not recommended to use the ASMT tool as an index moving tool to other systems or fresh hosts. The main purpose is to be used within the same host to avoid a Cold-start after having gracefully shutdown asd.
