How does the vbr.py utility make backups under the hood?

Is the data actually copied over or is it more of a rearrangement of pointers to the old data?

Hi

When you backup Vertica using vbr, the data files are actually copied over to the backup host. Unless you are careating a hard link local backup.

For a detailed explanation, please review
