ERPNext Bench Backup & Restore Sizing

ERPNextCalc Storage Ratio: 3x Database + Files Headroom

A 12 GB MariaDB dump plus 25 GB of invoice attachments requires at least 110 GB of usable NVMe disk when local snapshots and temporary mysqldump buffers coexist.

We recommend running bench backup --compress alongside a daily rclone or restic push to immutable object storage, keeping only the latest 3 local snapshots.

ERPNextCalc Restore Discipline on Fresh Benches

Restoring a large .sql.gz archive via bench --site restore temporarily drives MariaDB write IOPS and InnoDB dirty-page flushing to 100%.

We advise pausing Supervisor RQ workers during major restores so scheduled jobs do not collide with schema patches.
