03/26/2025, 2:02 PMHi. We are using Typesense Cloud at the moment and now we have to move the cluster to our own infrastructure due to GDPR reasons. Since https://typesense.org/docs/guide/backups.html is not applicable for Typesense Cloud, does anybody have experience with this or know a best practice?

Jason Bosco
03/26/2025, 8:06 PMBecause Typesense is not meant to be used as a primary DB, so you definitely need to have a copy of your dataset in your primary DB at all times, and only sync a copy of it to Typesense

03/27/2025, 7:31 AMManual export/import is not an option since we have >1000 collections.
