Backup Elasticsearch Configuration

1. In the Elasticsearch Configuration window of the Server Installer, select the desired configuration.

   

2. Select the Use Elasticsearch Backup to enable backup of elastic data. If this option is unchecked, there will be no kind of backup of elastic data. This setting is also applied on the Elasticsearch disaster recovery backup. Without the backup, there will be no disaster recovery.

3. If Use Elasticsearch Backup is selected, you must provide the Repository Path. This folder should be configured and have the appropriate permissions according to the above section.

   Any change in the repository path will cause a restart of each elastic node.

4. Select Enable Cluster Backup to run the continuous_backup and take snapshots of the full cluster. This setting is also applied on the Elasticsearch disaster recovery backup.

5. If a disaster recovery environment is configured and if 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 according to the above section.

   Note: The disaster recovery repository path must be different then 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. Make sure nothing went wrong and that snapshots are being created successfully.

   Elasticsearch backup configuration changes are performed in an asynchronous way by a task named Update Elasticsearch Cluster Configuration by the Scheduled Task Handler Service.
