level-snapshot

Snapshot Level DB using level-hyper's liveBackup method. After each snapshot a transaction log is kept.

Usage

var level = require('level-hyper')
var Snapshot = require('level-snapshot')

var db = level('./db')
var snapshot = Snapshot(db)

snapshot.on('snapshot:complete', function (snapshotName) {
  console.log('took snapshot', snapshotName)
})

snapshot.start()

Api

var snapshot = Snapshot(db[, options])

Create a level-snapshot instance using db. Options include:

{
  path: './snaphots',        // store snapshots in this folder
  logPath: './logs',         // store transaction logs in this folder
  interval: 3600,            // interval in seconds between snapshots
  lastSyncPath: './lastsync' // file to store last sync time
}

snapshot.start()

Take a snapshot on nextTick() and continue taking snapshots at each interval. Defaults to one snapshot per hour.

snapshot.stop()

Stop taking snapshots.

var server = snapshot.createServer()

Create and return a tcp server. The server is not listening to connections until you call .listen() on it.

var client = snapshot.createClient(port, host)

Create a snapshot client and connect it to port and host.

If the client has never synced with the server before, it will:

• close the db
• stream the latest snapshot from the server
• re-open the db
• receive live updates from the server

If the client has synced before, it will:

• receive all logs since the last sync time
• receive live updates from the server

var time = snapshot.getLastSnapshotSyncTime()

Returns the last sync time.

snapshot.on('snapshot:start', function (name) {})

Emitted when a snapshot has started.

snapshot.on('snapshot:complete', function (name) {})

Emitted when a snapshot has completed successfully.

snapshot.on('snapshot:error', function (err) {})

Emitted if a snapshot failed.

snapshot.on('snapshot:cleanup', function (path) {})

Emitted when an old snapshot has been cleaned up.

snapshot.on('snapshot:db-reopened', function () {})

Emitted when the db was reopened successfully.
