Back Up & Restore
A regular backup policy is essential in the INNORIX operating environment to protect against system failures, server migration, and operational data loss.
This section describes how to back up the system configuration and operational data required for INNORIX and how to restore the environment in the event of a failure.
Verify Backup Targets
Before performing a backup, verify the backup targets that should be managed in the INNORIX operating environment.
Backup targets are divided into system configuration and operational data.
Backup Targets
| Category | Target | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System Configuration | Docker Swarm Configuration | Service runtime environment and service configuration information |
| System Configuration | Environment Configuration Files | Service environment configuration information |
| System Configuration | License Information | Product authentication and license information |
| Data | Workspace Information | Workspace configuration information |
| Data | User Information | Account and permission information |
| Data | Operational Data | Data generated during service operation |
| Log | Log Data | System operation records and troubleshooting information |
Pre-backup Verification
Verify the following items before performing a backup.
- Availability of backup storage space
- Access permissions for backup target files
- Current INNORIX service status
- Backup file storage location
Back Up the System Configuration
A system configuration backup stores the configuration information required to restore the INNORIX service to the same operating environment.
System Configuration Backup Targets
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Docker Compose Configuration | Container runtime environment information |
| Environment Variable Configuration | Service environment configuration information |
| Service Configuration | INNORIX operational settings |
| Network Configuration | Service connectivity information |
System Configuration Backup Procedure
- Verify the INNORIX installation directory.
- Back up the Docker Compose and environment configuration files.
- Move the backup files to the backup storage location.
- Verify that the backup files have been created successfully.
Recommendations
- Perform a backup before making major configuration changes.
- Store backups in a location separate from the production server.
- Restrict access to backup files.
- Maintain a history of configuration changes.
Back Up Operational Data
Operational data backup protects the critical data generated during INNORIX service operation.
Operational Data Backup Targets
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Workspace Data | Workspace-related information |
| User Data | User and permission information |
| Service Data | Service operational data |
| Log Data | System and operation logs |
Backup Considerations
- Consider the backup duration based on the data volume.
- Minimize the impact on the production environment.
- Apply a regular backup policy.
- Verify the integrity of the backup data after completion.
Restore Procedure
If a system failure occurs or the environment needs to be rebuilt, restore the INNORIX environment using the backup data.
Pre-restore Preparation
Verify the following items before performing a restore.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Backup File | Verify that a valid backup file is available |
| System Version | Verify the backup environment and the current environment |
| Storage Space | Ensure sufficient space for the restore |
| Service Status | Verify that the service has been stopped if required |
Restore Procedure
- Verify the INNORIX service status.
- Stop the service if required.
- Restore the system configuration files.
- Restore the operational data.
- Restart the service.
- Verify normal operation.
Verify the Restore
After the restore is complete, verify that the system and services are operating correctly.
Restore Verification Items
| Item | Verification |
|---|---|
| Service Status | Verify that the INNORIX service is running normally |
| Configuration | Verify that the configuration has been restored correctly |
| Workspace | Verify that the existing Workspace is retained |
| User Account | Verify user accounts |
| File Transfer | Verify that the file Transfer functionality operates correctly |
| Log | Verify that system logs are generated correctly |
Restore Completion Criteria
After the restore has been completed successfully, verify the following.
- The Web Console is accessible.
- Administrator sign-in is successful.
- Existing configuration is retained.
- Workspace and user information are available.
- File Transfer functionality operates correctly.
