Cockroach: storage: support backups

[treeder]

Has this been hashed out yet?

[spencerkimball]

Not yet. But it's on our roadmap for Q3 of this year.

It would be ideal if the backups output is SQL. That'll leave a good rollback option, back to Postgres/MySQL.

We're waiting for this feature to push one of our less critical system onto cockroach.

@treeder @karthikg001 check out our current implementation of backup / restore here https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/back-up-and-restore-data.html

You can dump multiple tables at the same time. Closing this issue!

[tlvenn]

Well you can even dump an entire database, something which was not obvious from your comment or from the release note itself, which is far more valuable than multiple tables ;)

Awesome! We like exceeding expectations :)
