Any Substrate chain supports two database backends:

 - RocksDb is the default option,
 - ParityDb is more efficient but also more experimental.

 We provide RocksDb snapshots. We do not currently provide ParityDB snapshots.

Database formats

These snapshots are not archive snapshots. You must run your validator (or node) with the --unsafe-pruning argument after starting your node from the snapshots provided here. The --unsafe-pruning mode is sufficient to run a validator node.

 Substrate has an export-blocks and import-blocks option, but these snapshots do not make use of it. The import-blocks function verifies every block, which is as slow as an initial sync. Instead, we provide raw database backend files because setup is faster than with the block import function.
