We have a MarkLogic application and new data gets added/updated frequently. It is user data and we are supposed to take regular backups of data.
We have a part of data(3 Million records) which is not updated.So, Can we place this data in a separate forest and Will that help me in any way.
We are thinking this in view of Backup and Restore.As taking the daily backups of entire database takes lot of disk space.
What are the pros and cons of having particular type data in single forest?
This doesn't address your pros & cons question, but MarkLogic 8 offers incremental backup, which could address the disk space concern.
