There are several types of components in the DPOD appliance that should be backed up :
Backup software and Static configuration
For complete software and configuration backup directory /app
you can use the following command :
tar zcvf DPOD-bck-full.tar.gz /app
this command will produce archive file of about 1GB.
For partial backup (configuration and specific application files) using the following command :
tar zcvf DPOD-bck.tar.gz /app/elasticsearch_nodes /app/flume/aggregator_agents /app/flume/balancer_agent /app/flume/syslog_agents /app/flume/wsm_agents /app/hk_keepalive/MonTier-HK-SyslogKeepalive/webapps/MonTier.war /app/hk_keepalive/MonTier-HK-SyslogKeepalive/conf /app/hk_keepalive/MonTier-HK-WsmKeepalive/webapps/MonTier.war /app/hk_keepalive/MonTier-HK-WsmKeepalive/conf /app/hk_resources/MonTier-HK-WdpDeviceResources/webapps/MonTier.war /app/hk_resources/MonTier-HK-WdpDeviceResources/conf /app/hk_resources/MonTier-HK-WdpServiceResources/webapps/MonTier.war /app/hk_resources/MonTier-HK-WdpServiceResources/conf /app/hk_retention/MonTier-HK-ESRetention/webapps/MonTier.war /app/hk_retention/MonTier-HK-ESRetention/conf /app/reports/MonTier-Reports/webapps/MonTier.war /app/reports/MonTier-Reports/conf /app/ui/MonTier-UI/webapps/MonTier.war /app/ui/MonTier-UI/conf /app/scripts
this command will produce archive file of about 200MB.
Backup user configuration data
use the following command example for full backup of the internal DB (change the backup destination directory to your backup directory) :
echo "CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_BACKUP_DATABASE('/tmp/db_backup');" > /tmp/db_backup.txt
ij /tmp/db_backup.txt
Backup the Store
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.
