"Question": Is Backup Service on Couchbase 7.0 CE not available?

Couchbase Server
1

Hi,
While using the Rest API to enable the Backup service on the node.
I receive following error:

[group1-abc@d-app02a ~]$ curl  -X POST http://<cbhostname>:8091/node/controller/setupServices  -d 'services=kv%2Cn1ql%2Cindex%2Cfts%2Cbackup'  -u cbuser
Enter host password for user 'cbuser':
{"errors":{"services":"Unknown services: [\"backup\"]"}}

[group1-abc@d-app02a ~]$ curl  -X POST http://<cbhostname>:8091/node/controller/setupServices  -d 'services=kv%2Cn1ql%2Cindex%2Cfts%2Ccbbs'  -u cbuser
Enter host password for user 'cbuser':
{"errors":{"services":"Unknown services: [\"cbbs\"]"}}

I am not able to spot a documentation which says the Backup service can’t be enabled on the Couchbase 7.0 CE nodes.

I am unable to add it via “Adding to Existing Cluster” or “Add New Server”, only data, index,query, seach are visible as below in both path as below.

Could you please help here?

Thank you

It appears there is no “Backup Service” - which is what you are seeing.

There is, however, " High-performance enterprise backup and restore tools (cbbackupmgr)

I believe I spent quiet a time on the documentation and was unable to land to this comparison page. Thank you so much for the this page pointer and confirmation, Michael.
