Chapter 2. Troubleshooting data backup and restore
To troubleshoot failed data backups and restorations, check the basics first, such as data paths, storage configuration, and storage capacity.
2.1. Backing up data failed
Data backups are automatic on rpm-ostree systems. If you are not using an rpm-ostree system and attempted to create a manual backup, the following reasons can cause the backup to fail:
- Not waiting several minutes after a system start to successfully stop MicroShift. The system must complete health checks and any other background processes before a back up can succeed.
If MicroShift stopped running because of an error, you cannot perform a backup of the data.
- Make sure the system is healthy.
- Stop it in a healthy state before attempting a backup.
- If you do not have sufficient storage for the data, the backup fails. Ensure that you have enough storage for the MicroShift data.
- If you do not have sufficient permissions, a backup can fail. Ensure you have the correct user permissions to create a backup and perform the required configurations.
2.2. Backup logs
- Logs print to the console during manual backups.
Logs are automatically generated for
rpm-ostreesystem automated backups as part of the MicroShift journal logs. You can check the logs by running the following command:$ sudo journalctl -u microshift
2.3. Restoring data failed
The restoration of data can fail for many reasons, including storage and permission issues. Mismatched data versions can cause failures when MicroShift restarts.
2.3.1. RPM-OSTree-based systems data restore failed
Data restorations are automatic on rpm-ostree systems, but can fail, for example:
The only backups that are restored on
rpm-ostreesystems are backups from the current deployment or a rollback deployment. Backups are not taken on an unhealthy system.- Only the latest backups that have corresponding deployments are retained. Outdated backups that do not have a matching deployment are automatically removed.
- Data is usually not restored from a newer version of MicroShift.
- Ensure that the data you are restoring follows same versioning pattern as the update path. For example, if the destination version of MicroShift is an older version than the version of the MicroShift data you are currently using, the restoration can fail.
2.3.2. RPM-based manual data restore failed
If you are using an RPM system that is not rpm-ostree and tried to restore a manual backup, the following reasons can cause the restoration to fail:
If MicroShift stopped running because of an error, you cannot restore data.
- Make sure the system is healthy.
- Start it in a healthy state before attempting to restore data.
If you do not have enough storage space allocated for the incoming data, the restoration fails.
- Make sure that your current system storage is configured to accept the restored data.
You are attempting to restore data from a newer version of MicroShift.
- Ensure that the data you are restoring follows same versioning pattern as the update path. For example, if the destination version of MicroShift is an older version than the version of the MicroShift data you are attempting to use, the restoration can fail.
2.4. Storage migration failed
Storage migration failures are typically caused by substantial changes in custom resources (CRs) from one MicroShift to the next. If a storage migration fails, there is usually an unresolvable discrepancy between versions that requires manual review.
