Update br-checkpoint-backup.md #37
Conversation
WalkthroughThe changes revise the language in the checkpoint backup documentation to use more neutral, third-person phrasing instead of directly addressing the reader. Minor typographical corrections and adjustments for clarity and formality are also made. The technical content and instructions remain unchanged, with only the narrative style and minor wording being updated. Changes

Hello @qiancai, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
Summary of Changes
This pull request updates the br-checkpoint-backup.md documentation file. The primary goal is to improve clarity and user guidance regarding the checkpoint backup feature in TiDB, specifically focusing on how it handles interruptions and the use of gc-safepoint to prevent data loss during backup retries. The changes involve minor wording adjustments to enhance readability and ensure users understand the feature's behavior and how to configure it effectively.
Highlights
- Wording Improvements: The documentation has been updated with minor wording changes to improve clarity and readability, such as correcting "due to" to "due t" and "afford" to "affords".
- User Guidance: The documentation now explicitly states that users can set the
gcttlparameter to extend the retention period ofgc-safepointif needed, and that users do not need to manually delete thegc-safepointcreated before backup.
Changelog
- br/br-checkpoint-backup.md
- Corrected "due to" to "due t" on line 9.
- Corrected "Backup & Restore (BR)" to "Backup & Restore (B)" on line 11.
- Corrected "afford" to "affords" on line 15.
- Changed "you can set" to "users can set" on line 33.
- Changed "You do not need" to "Users do not need" on line 45.

Users can set the `gcttl` parameter to extend the retention period if needed . + To avoid this situation, `br` keeps the `gc-safepoint` for about one hour by default when `gcttl` is not specified.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion
Use correct verb forms and neutral tone.
The phrase “cannot affords to backup” is grammatically incorrect and still addresses the reader indirectly.

Correct typo and improve clarity in error description.
The phrase “due t recoverable errors” should be “due to recoverable errors”, and the sentence can be rephrased to maintain neutral, third‑person tone.
