Backup Elasticsearch Configuration
- In the Elasticsearch Configuration window of the Server Installer, select the desired configuration.
-
Select Use Elasticsearch Backup to enable backup of elastic data. If this option is unchecked, there will be no backup of elastic data.
This setting is also applied to the Elasticsearch disaster recovery backup. Without the backup, disaster recovery will not be possible.
-
If Use Elasticsearch Backup is selected, you must provide the Repository Path. This folder should be configured and have the appropriate permissions, as described in the previous section.
Note
Any change in the repository path will cause a restart of each elastic node.
-
Select Enable Cluster Backup to run the
continuous_backup
and take snapshots of the full cluster. This setting is also applied to the Elasticsearch disaster recovery backup. -
If a disaster recovery environment is configured and Use Elasticsearch Backup was checked, you must provide the Repository Path for the disaster recovery Elasticsearch.
This folder should be configured and have the appropriate permissions, as described in the previous section.
Note
The disaster recovery repository path must be different from the production repository path.
-
If any change occurs in the backup configuration, it is highly recommended to keep track of the continuous backup monitoring in the File Access Manager Admin Client Event Viewer.
Ensure that no issues occurred and that snapshots are being created successfully.
-
Elasticsearch backup configuration changes are performed asynchronously by a task named Update Elasticsearch Cluster Configuration by the Scheduled Task Handler Service.
