@julian I think we've got it working albeit without the splitting out of objects to multiple collections. I think we'll probably tackle that as well, fortunately it should be relatively straight forward since the keys are already prefixed with a logical collection name e.g "post:1380" or "user:100".
In the meantime we have some testing ahead of us to ensure that nothing breaks.
We're happy to maintain it ourselves, but I think you guys should consider adding it as a core database. It gets NodeBB one step closer to being the first true "cloud native" forum platform. The only thing left would be splitting the UI from the API services and you would be all the way there.
Backup & restore database

Hey,
A great feature that would be very useful would be being able to backup / restore databases from the control panel (at least for the base forum, not considering plugin related data), it would be easier to change hosting solution and scaling up as time goes by.
Thanks a lot !

Hello @Benderwan -- thanks for the suggestion! It's something that we think would be great, although it is not always possible because of different configuration issues.
As you can imagine we don't lock down the way you configure your database so some installs might not have access to the dump files or may not have access to the right privileges to back up to disk, and that is the reason why we don't have that right now.
