`ValueError: dataset contains non-pre-existing variables ['air'], which is not allowed in ``xarray.Dataset.to_zarr()`` with mode='r+'. To allow writing new variables, set mode='a'.`
I have found something that gives me satisfactory results. The reason why I have issues in the cloud, I still don't know, I am still investigating. Maybe it is unrelated. The following script kinds of keep the important stuff but still it is not very clean as some of the parameters are not included in the final file. I ended up doing the same kind of convoluted approach as I was making before. But hopefully that's helpful to someone looking for some sort of real-case example. Definitely clarified stuff in my head.

The `del` method is the one I tried and when doing it on my files I had very weird things happening so I would not recommend it as a proper workaround. as I wrote before it was not appending the file as it should have.
I have now a run functioning with the `region` method but I had to simulate my whole file which was a bit challenging and is actually pretty easy to break as I need to use the geometry of a single variable to generate my temporal and spatial coordinates for the whole archive. Going through the whole variables is a bit of a no-go.
The initialisation with both methods is really a challenge I find.

I find append the most logical but I have attributes attached to a dataset that I don't seem to be able to drop before appending. This generates this error:
`ValueError: failed to prevent overwriting existing key _FillValue in attrs. This is probably an encoding field used by xarray to describe how a variable is serialized. To proceed, remove this key from the variable's attributes manually.`

Most (all?) numerical models will output results per time step onto a multidimensional grid with different variables
Said grid will also have other parameters that will help rebuild the geometry or follow standards, like CF and Ugrid (The things that you are supposed to drop). The geometry of the grid is computed at the initialisation of the model. It is a bit counter intuitive to get rid of it for incremental backups especially that each write will not concern this part of the file.
What I do at the moment is that I create a first dataset at the final dimension based on dummy dask arrays
Export it `to_zarr` with` compute = False`
With a buffer system, I create a new dataset for **each** buffer with the right data at the right place meaning only the time interval concerned and I write `to_zarr` with the region attribute
I flush the buffer dataset after it being written.
At the end I write all the parameters before closing the main dataset.
To my knowledge, that's the only method which works.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1077079208

It is not true that these variables are not in common, they are the coordinates of each of the variables. They are all made the same. This is a typical example of an unstructured grid backup. Meanwhile I found an alternate solution which is also better for memory management. I think the documentation example doesn't actually work.
I will try to formulate my trick but that's not using this particular method of region that is not functioning as it should in my opinion.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1077079208
