-## Single-node VictoriaMetrics
+## VictoriaMetrics
 
 VictoriaMetrics is fast, cost-effective and scalable time-series database. It can be used as long-term remote storage for Prometheus.
 It is available in [binary releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases),
 [docker images](https://hub.docker.com/r/victoriametrics/victoria-metrics/) and
-in [source code](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics).
+in [source code](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics). Just download VictoriaMetrics and see [how to start it](#how-to-start-victoriametrics).
 
 Cluster version is available [here](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/tree/cluster).

 ## Prominent features
 
 * Supports [Prometheus querying API](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/), so it can be used as Prometheus drop-in replacement in Grafana.
   Additionally, VictoriaMetrics extends PromQL with opt-in [useful features](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/wiki/ExtendedPromQL).
-* Global query view. Multiple Prometheus instances may write data into VictoriaMetrics. Later this data may be used in a single query.

+* Optimized for time series with high churn rate. Think about [prometheus-operator](https://github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator) metrics from frequent deployments in Kubernetes.
 * High data compression, so [up to 70x more data points](https://medium.com/@valyala/when-size-matters-benchmarking-victoriametrics-vs-timescale-and-influxdb-6035811952d4)
   may be crammed into limited storage comparing to TimescaleDB.

+Each request to `/api/v1/import` can load up to a single vCPU core on VictoriaMetrics. Import speed can be improved by splitting the original file into smaller parts
+and importing them concurrently. Note that the original file must be split on newlines.

+## vmbackup
+
+`vmbackup` creates VictoriaMetrics data backups from [instant snapshots](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-work-with-snapshots).
+
+Supported storage systems for backups:
+
+* [GCS](https://cloud.google.com/storage/). Example: `gcs://<bucket>/<path/to/backup>`
+* [S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/). Example: `s3://<bucket>/<path/to/backup>`
+* Any S3-compatible storage such as [MinIO](https://github.com/minio/minio). See `-customS3Endpoint` command-line flag.
+* Local filesystem. Example: `fs://</absolute/path/to/backup>`
+
+Incremental backups and full backups are supported. Incremental backups are created automatically if the destination path already contains data from the previous backup.
+Full backups can be sped up with `-origin` pointing to already existing backup on the same remote storage. In this case `vmbackup` makes server-side copy for the shared
+data between the existing backup and new backup. This saves time and costs on data transfer.
+
+Backup process can be interrupted at any time. It is automatically resumed from the interruption point when restarting `vmbackup` with the same args.
+
+Backed up data can be restored with [vmrestore](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/app/vmrestore/README.md).
+
+See [this article](https://medium.com/@valyala/speeding-up-backups-for-big-time-series-databases-533c1a927883) for more details.
+
+
+### Use cases
+
+#### Regular backups
+
+Regular backup can be performed with the following command:
+
+```
+vmbackup -storageDataPath=</path/to/victoria-metrics-data> -snapshotName=<local-snapshot> -dst=gcs://<bucket>/<path/to/new/backup>
+```
+
+* `</path/to/victoria-metrics-data>` - path to VictoriaMetrics data pointed by `-storageDataPath` command-line flag in single-node VictoriaMetrics or in cluster `vmstorage`.
+  There is no need to stop VictoriaMetrics for creating backups, since they are performed from immutable [instant snapshots](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-work-with-snapshots).
+* `<local-snapshot>` is the snapshot to backup. See [how to create instant snapshots](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-work-with-snapshots).
+* `<bucket>` is already existing name for [GCS bucket](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/creating-buckets).
+* `<path/to/new/backup>` is the destination path where new backup will be placed.
+
+
+#### Regular backups with server-side copy from existing backup
+
+If the destination GCS bucket already contains the previous backup at `-origin` path, then new backup can be sped up
+with the following command:
+
+```
+vmbackup -storageDataPath=</path/to/victoria-metrics-data> -snapshotName=<local-snapshot> -dst=gcs://<bucket>/<path/to/new/backup> -origin=gcs://<bucket>/<path/to/existing/backup>
+```
+
+This saves time and network bandwidth costs by performing server-side copy for the shared data from the `-origin` to `-dst`.
+
+
+#### Incremental backups
+
+Incremental backups are performed if `-dst` points to already existing backup. In this case only new data is uploaded to remote storage.
+This saves time and network bandwidth costs when working with big backups:
+
+```
+vmbackup -storageDataPath=</path/to/victoria-metrics-data> -snapshotName=<local-snapshot> -dst=gcs://<bucket>/<path/to/existing/backup>
+```
+
+
+#### Smart backups
+
+Smart backups mean storing full daily backups into `YYYYMMDD` folders and creating incremental hourly backup into `latest` folder:
+
+* Run the following command every hour:
+
+```
+vmbackup -snapshotName=<latest-snapshot> -dst=gcs://<bucket>/latest
+```
+
+Where `<latest-snapshot>` is the latest [snapshot](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-work-with-snapshots).
+The command will upload only changed data to `gcs://<bucket>/latest`.
+
+* Run the following command once a day:
+
+```
+vmbackup -snapshotName=<daily-snapshot> -dst=gcs://<bucket>/<YYYYMMDD> -origin=gcs://<bucket>/latest
+```
+
+Where `<daily-snapshot>` is the snapshot for the last day `<YYYYMMDD>`.
+
+
+This apporach saves network bandwidth costs on hourly backups (since they are incremental) and allows recovering data from either the last hour (`latest` backup)
+or from any day (`YYYYMMDD` backups). Note that hourly backup shouldn't run when creating daily backup.
+
+Do not forget removing old snapshots and backups when they are no longer needed for saving storage costs.
+
+
+### How does it work?
+
+The backup algorithm is the following:
+
+1. Collect information about files in the `-snapshotName`, in the `-dst` and in the `-origin`.
+2. Determine files in `-dst`, which are missing in `-snapshotName`, and delete them. These are usually small files, which are already merged into bigger files in the snapshot.
+3. Determine files from `-snapshotName`, which are missing in `-dst`. These are usually small new files and bigger merged files.
+4. Determine files from step 3, which exist in the `-origin`, and perform server-side copy of these files from `-origin` to `-dst`.
+   This are usually the biggest and the oldest files, which are shared between backups.
+5. Upload the remaining files from setp 3 from `-snapshotName` to `-dst`.
+
+The algorithm splits source files into 100MB chunks in the backup. Each chunk is stored as a separate file in the backup.
+Such splitting minimizes the amounts of data to re-transfer after temporary errors.
+
+`vmbackup` relies on [instant snapshot](https://medium.com/@valyala/how-victoriametrics-makes-instant-snapshots-for-multi-terabyte-time-series-data-e1f3fb0e0282) properties:
+
+- All the files in the snapshot are immutable.
+- Old files are periodically merged into new files.
+- Smaller files have higher probability to be merged.
+- Consecutive snapshots share many identical files.
+
+These properties allow performing fast and cheap incremental backups and server-side copying from `-origin` paths.
+See [this article](https://medium.com/@valyala/speeding-up-backups-for-big-time-series-databases-533c1a927883) for more details.
+`vmbackup` can work improperly or slowly when these properties are violated.
+
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+* If the backup is slow, then try setting higher value for `-concurrency` flag. This will increase the number of concurrent workers that upload data to backup storage.
+* If `vmbackup` eats all the network bandwidth, then set `-maxBytesPerSecond` to the desired value.
+* If `vmbackup` has been interrupted due to temporary error, then just restart it with the same args. It will resume the backup process.
+
+
+### Advanced usage
+
+Run `vmbackup -help` in order to see all the available options:
+
+```
+  -concurrency int
+    	The number of concurrent workers. Higher concurrency may reduce backup duration (default 10)
+  -configFilePath string
+    	Path to file with S3 configs. Configs are loaded from default location if not set.
+    	See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html
+  -configProfile string
+    	Profile name for S3 configs (default "default")
+  -credsFilePath string
+    	Path to file with GCS or S3 credentials. Credentials are loaded from default locations if not set.
+    	See https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/creating-managing-service-account-keys and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html
+  -customS3Endpoint string
+    	Custom S3 endpoint for use with S3-compatible storages (e.g. MinIO). S3 is used if not set
+  -dst string
+    	Where to put the backup on the remote storage. Example: gcs://bucket/path/to/backup/dir, s3://bucket/path/to/backup/dir or fs:///path/to/local/backup/dir
+    	-dst can point to the previous backup. In this case incremental backup is performed, i.e. only changed data is uploaded
+  -loggerLevel string
+    	Minimum level of errors to log. Possible values: INFO, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC (default "INFO")
+  -maxBytesPerSecond int
+    	The maximum upload speed. There is no limit if it is set to 0
+  -memory.allowedPercent float
+    	Allowed percent of system memory VictoriaMetrics caches may occupy (default 60)
+  -origin string
+    	Optional origin directory on the remote storage with old backup for server-side copying when performing full backup. This speeds up full backups
+  -snapshotName string
+    	Name for the snapshot to backup. See https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/README.md#how-to-work-with-snapshots
+  -storageDataPath string
+    	Path to VictoriaMetrics data. Must match -storageDataPath from VictoriaMetrics or vmstorage (default "victoria-metrics-data")
+  -version
+    	Show VictoriaMetrics version
+```
+
+
+### How to build from sources
+
+It is recommended using [binary releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases) - see `vmutils-*` archives there.
+
+
+#### Development build
+
+1. [Install Go](https://golang.org/doc/install). The minimum supported version is Go 1.12.
+2. Run `make vmbackup` from the root folder of the repository.
+   It builds `vmbackup` binary and puts it into the `bin` folder.
+
+#### Production build
+
+1. [Install docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/).
+2. Run `make vmbackup-prod` from the root folder of the repository.
+   It builds `vmbackup-prod` binary and puts it into the `bin` folder.
+
+#### Building docker images
+
+Run `make package-vmbackup`. It builds `victoriametrics/vmbackup:<PKG_TAG>` docker image locally.
+`<PKG_TAG>` is auto-generated image tag, which depends on source code in the repository.
+The `<PKG_TAG>` may be manually set via `PKG_TAG=foobar make package-vmbackup`.

+## vmrestore
+
+`vmrestore` restores data from backups created by [vmbackup](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/app/vmbackup/README.md).
+VictoriaMetrics `v1.29.0` and newer versions must be used for working with the restored data.
+
+Restore process can be interrupted at any time. It is automatically resumed from the inerruption point
+when restarting `vmrestore` with the same args.
+
+
+### Usage
+
+VictoriaMetrics must be stopped during the restore process.
+
+```
+vmrestore -src=gcs://<bucket>/<path/to/backup> -storageDataPath=<local/path/to/restore>
+
+```
+
+* `<bucket>` is [GCS bucket](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/creating-buckets) name.
+* `<path/to/backup>` is the path to backup made with [vmbackup](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/app/vmbackup/README.md) on GCS bucket.
+* `<local/path/to/restore>` is the path to folder where data will be restored. This folder must be passed
+  to VictoriaMetrics in `-storageDataPath` command-line flag after the restore process is complete.
+
+The original `-storageDataPath` directory may contain old files. They will be susbstituted by the files from backup.
+
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+* If `vmrestore` eats all the network bandwidth, then set `-maxBytesPerSecond` to the desired value.
+* If `vmrestore` has been interrupted due to temporary error, then just restart it with the same args. It will resume the restore process.
+
+
+### Advanced usage
+
+Run `vmrestore -help` in order to see all the available options:
+
+```
+  -concurrency int
+    	The number of concurrent workers. Higher concurrency may reduce restore duration (default 10)
+  -configFilePath string
+    	Path to file with S3 configs. Configs are loaded from default location if not set.
+    	See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html
+  -configProfile string
+    	Profile name for S3 configs (default "default")
+  -credsFilePath string
+    	Path to file with GCS or S3 credentials. Credentials are loaded from default locations if not set.
+    	See https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/creating-managing-service-account-keys and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-security-credentials.html
+  -customS3Endpoint string
+    	Custom S3 endpoint for use with S3-compatible storages (e.g. MinIO). S3 is used if not set
+  -loggerLevel string
+    	Minimum level of errors to log. Possible values: INFO, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC (default "INFO")
+  -maxBytesPerSecond int
+    	The maximum download speed. There is no limit if it is set to 0
+  -memory.allowedPercent float
+    	Allowed percent of system memory VictoriaMetrics caches may occupy (default 60)
+  -src string
+    	Source path with backup on the remote storage. Example: gcs://bucket/path/to/backup/dir, s3://bucket/path/to/backup/dir or fs:///path/to/local/backup/dir
+  -storageDataPath string
+    	Destination path where backup must be restored. VictoriaMetrics must be stopped when restoring from backup. -storageDataPath dir can be non-empty. In this case only missing data is downloaded from backup (default "victoria-metrics-data")
+  -version
+    	Show VictoriaMetrics version
+```
+
+
+### How to build from sources
+
+It is recommended using [binary releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases) - see `vmutils-*` archives there.
+
+
+#### Development build
+
+1. [Install Go](https://golang.org/doc/install). The minimum supported version is Go 1.12.
+2. Run `make vmrestore` from the root folder of the repository.
+   It builds `vmrestore` binary and puts it into the `bin` folder.
+
+#### Production build
+
+1. [Install docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/).
+2. Run `make vmrestore-prod` from the root folder of the repository.
+   It builds `vmrestore-prod` binary and puts it into the `bin` folder.
+
+#### Building docker images
+
+Run `make package-vmrestore`. It builds `victoriametrics/vmrestore:<PKG_TAG>` docker image locally.
+`<PKG_TAG>` is auto-generated image tag, which depends on source code in the repository.
+The `<PKG_TAG>` may be manually set via `PKG_TAG=foobar make package-vmrestore`.
