ClickHouse Backup & Recovery Services
Safeguard your mission-critical ClickHouse data with enterprise-grade backup and disaster recovery solutions. Mafiree ensures secure, automated, and fully monitored backups with client-facing dashboards for real-time status, compliance audits, and instant failure alerts helping your business stay protected, compliant, and always online.
Why ClickHouse Backup & Recovery Is Essential
ClickHouse powers high-speed analytics, but its distributed architecture means backups must be consistent, coordinated, and performance-aware. Without a robust backup and recovery plan, organizations risk:
- Data loss due to disk corruption or hardware failure
- Broken replicas or metadata inconsistencies
- Accidental drops, TTL misconfigurations, or merge-related issues
- Missed compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX)
At Mafiree, we deliver end-to-end ClickHouse backup and recovery strategies that exceed industry standards, giving you full confidence in your analytical data platform.

Types of ClickHouse Backups We Offer
1. Native ClickHouse Backups
Using built-in BACKUP TO & RESTORE FROM commands. Ideal for production environments needing consistency and fast recovery.
2. S3/Remote Storage Backups
Backup data and metadata to S3, GCS, or Azure Blob:
- Highly durable
- Geo-distributed
- Low-cost long-term storage
3. Physical Snapshots
ZFS / LVM / filesystem-level snapshots for large datasets or high-ingestion systems. Useful for:
- Low-impact backups
- Fast restore times
- On-prem and hybrid infrastructures
4. Incremental Backups
Backup only changed parts → faster, cheaper, and ideal for petabyte-scale data.
5. Cluster-Level Distributed Backups
Simultaneously coordinate backups across multiple shards & replicas.
6. Disaster Recovery Replication
Cross-region replication with restore-ready images stored offsite.
4. Incremental Backups
Point-in-Time Recovery for ClickHouse (Advanced)
While ClickHouse does not natively support PITR like MongoDB, Mafiree provides:
- Custom binlog-like part archival workflows
- Metadata & part history retention
- Continuous S3 syncing for near-PITR restoration
This enables restoring to the closest possible point before corruption or failure.
Our Proven Backup & Recovery Process
- Assessment – Review current backup policies, retention, RPO/RTO needs, and compliance gaps.
- Backup Design – Define backup schedules, incremental policies, and remote redundancy.
- Automation & Dashboard Setup – Set up backup orchestration, monitoring, and alerting.
- Testing & Validation – Conduct restore drills on staging and generate reports for audits.
- Disaster Recovery Planning – Build multi-region DR strategies and recovery playbooks.
Common ClickHouse Backup & Recovery Challenges We Solve
- Backups failing due to merge overload or disk pressure
- Slow or incomplete restores due to missing metadata
- Inconsistent replicas during cluster backups
- S3/object storage failure during upload
- No centralized visibility of backups across shards
- TTL or partition drops causing unexpected data loss
- Lack of compliance-ready reporting
