Weaviate has introduced a backup feature in version 1.15 that streamlines the backup process for data, whether it be to a local file system or to a cloud storage provider. This tutorial guides users through backing up and restoring their data using this new feature. The tutorial covers creating two instances of Weaviate, populating one with a schema and data, backing up the instance, and restoring the backup data to another instance. It also discusses additional backup options such as local backup location, cloud storage systems, partial backups and restore, and asynchronous operations.
