Hey there. I'm not seeing a way to create a db snapshot/backup via typesense cloud UI. How do I ensure my data is backed up in case something happens to the cluster?

Here's prior discussion on the topic:

Thanks @Jason Bosco! Is ability to perform snapshots and download/restore them still planned for 2025? I know TypeSense is not meant to be the primary database for an application, but that's how mine is setup. I can't afford to pay for multiple databases and TypeSense seems to handle all of my needs just fine without using a different database as my primary. This means that if the data in Typesense is lost, I basically go out of business. Having the ability to see, download, restore snapshots would make me feel a lot more secure using Typesense Cloud.

It's still planned in 2025 yes.
This means that if the data in Typesense is lost, I basically go out of business.
Even with the snapshots feature, I would highly highly recommend not using Typesense as the primary source of data, especially given your statement above. It was not designed for this use-case. Your primary data should at least be in CSV / JSONL files outside of Typesense.
