Loss of the whole cluster and redeploying new servers ----------------------------------------------------- .. index:: backup;backup create .. index:: backup;backup list .. important:: Backups should be created and restored in a **screen** session - see: :ref:`screen-command`. The high level redeploy and backup restore steps are as follows: * Redeploy the cluster. * Store the backup you want to restore in a different location. * Recreate the remote backups on the primary node using **backup create **. * Copy the saved backup under the new UID folder on the remote backup server. * Do a **backup list** For example: :: pxetest: URI: sftp://sftpusr:********@172.29.42.249/AS03 Backups: 1 backups have been created - most recently 2014-08-21 10:24 A **backup restore** can now be run on the primary. The example console output below shows the steps and process: Identifying the database primary: :: platform@AS01:~$ database primary 172.29.42.100 Listing the backups: :: platform@AS01:~$ backup list localbackup: URI: file:///backups Backups: 2 backups have been created - most recently 2014-08-21 17:59 pxetest: URI: sftp://sftpusr:********@172.29.42.249/AS01 Backups: 2 backups have been created - most recently 2014-08-21 12:54 You have new mail in /var/mail/platform Restoring the backup: :: platform@AS01:~$ backup restore pxetest 2014-08-21 12:54 Services will be restarted during the restore.
