Backup the Store

Note

It is not recommended to backup the big data store using regular backup software due to its size . You should follow the instruction on how to create snapshot and export the data to HDFS.

Automatic Backup for monitored device before critical operations

DPOD creates a backup of the monitored device or create a checkpoint before some Web Console operations that changes the monitored device.

The list of this operations appears in this table

This backups can be located at /data/ui/WdpBackups
