Is there a way to setup daily (automated) backups for serverless indexes?

Hey, we need to do daily backups to our serverless index.

We’ll then want to have a staging index that will be using the last daily backup to restore from (similar flow to our DB staging/prod schema)

Looking at the API docs, under Backups, there’s only mention of collections which doesn’t apply to serverless.
The docs mention only a manual procedure for taking a backup of a serverless index.

  • Is it true there’s no API to access that feature?
  • If so, is there something on the roadmap that we can plan towards?
  • How are other customers handling the staging/production indexes schemas?

Cheers.

Hi @mor, welcome to the Pinecone Forum!

Currently, the Backups API is not available. The Product team has confirmed that adding it is prioritized for Q1 this year.

Regarding staging/production indexes, have you taken a look at Moving to Production? There may be some helpful information in there, especially:

  • Consider creating a separate project for your development and production indexes, to allow for testing changes to your index before deploying them to production.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
