Snapshots
The /snapshot
route allows you to create database snapshots. Snapshots are .snapshot
files that can be used to make quick backups of Meilisearch data.
Create a snapshot
POST/snapshots
Triggers a snapshot creation task. Once the process is complete, Meilisearch creates a snapshot in the snapshot directory. If the snapshot directory does not exist yet, it will be created.
Snapshot tasks take priority over other tasks in the queue.
