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.


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

It is recommended that you should delete periodically these backups or move them to a secured location.
