Backup & Recovery

 ON PREMISE This article applies only to Valsight On-Premise. Contact support for Cloud installations.

Backup

A complete backup of the application consists of:

• Complete database
• conf/ directory for the database configuration
• Installation Files & License file

All user data is part of the database dump, Valsight does not store additional user files in its working directory.

Recovery

To recover a previous backup:

• Drop & recreate the database from the backup
• restore the configuration
• make sure that the installation matches the version of the backup and that the license file is in the right place

Examples

Postgresql

Backup

pg_dump es-rest-service | bzip2 -c > “backup.sql.bz2“

Recovery

dropdb es-rest-service

createdb -O grails es-rest-service

bunzip –c backup.sql.bz2 | psql es-rest-service
