Without data backup mechanisms, there can be data loss or system downtime. Even worse, entire operating systems can crash, also resulting in data loss. An incremental backup, which is faster and requires less storage than a full backup, captures changes made since the previous backup.

An obvious metric here is CPU usage, but memory usage and other forms of data storage also play their part. For the more adventurous/technical, the top (table of processes) command provides similar metrics on most Unix-like operating systems such as macOS and Ubuntu. These include data transfer (i.e.

When it comes to backups, there are multiple types available, each with its own advantages and limitations. In order to implement effective full backups of your database, you must follow some best practices. Therefore, establishing a strong backup strategy is essential to ensure data security and minimize potential disruptions.

In that context, I’ll focus on C++ and try to: highlight what needs attention (what C++’s problem “is”), and how we can get there by building on solutions already underway; address some common misconceptions (what C++’s problem “isn’t”), including practical considerations of MSLs; and leave a call to action for programmers using all languages.
