Backup Database on v7.0.2

Help
1

Hello,

I’m trying to perform a straightforward database backup from the command line as a root user:
BACKUP DATABASE test TO ‘./’;
and I’m getting the following error message:

ERROR 1706 (HY000): Feature ‘Writing a backup to the local file system when running MemSQL as a service’ is not supported by MemSQL.

as far as I know, an Hot backup is supported (using v7.0.2)

Do I missing some things?

Please advise,
Thanks,
Sasi

You should backup to S3 or Azure:

As the error message says, backups to the local filesystem are not supported. This is because the local filesystem is not always going to stay the same in a Helios cluster, things move around between hosts, the best place to store a backup is a separate location from the cluster itself.
