Chapter 8. Backing Up and Restoring Data Grid Clusters

Procedure

1. Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.

2. Run the backup create command with the appropriate options, for example:

   • Back up all resources with an automatically generated name.

     [//containers/default]> backup create

   • Back up all resources in a backup archive named example-backup.

     [//containers/default]> backup create -n example-backup

   • Back up all resources to the /some/server/dir path on the server.

     [//containers/default]> backup create -d /some/server/dir

   • Back up only caches and cache templates.

     [//containers/default]> backup create --caches=* --templates=*

   • Back up named Protobuf schemas only.

     [//containers/default]> backup create --proto-schemas=schema1,schema2

3. List available backup archives on the server.

   [//containers/default]> backup ls

4. Download the example-backup archive from the server.

   If the backup operation is still in progress, the command waits for it to complete.

   [//containers/default]> backup get example-backup

5. Optionally delete the example-backup archive from the server.

   [//containers/default]> backup delete example-backup

Procedure

1. Create a CLI connection to Data Grid.

2. Run the backup restore command with the appropriate options.

   • Restore all content from a backup archive accessible on the server.

     [//containers/default]> backup restore /some/path/on/the/server

   • Restore all content from a local backup archive.

     [//containers/default]> backup restore -u /some/local/path

   • Restore only cache content from a backup archive on the server.

     [//containers/default]> backup restore /some/path/on/the/server --caches=*
