Back Up the Virtual Appliance Data

Follow these to back up the Virtual Appliance data:

  1. Download the Virtual Appliance OVA file from the Downloads portal.
    Note: The OVA file available in the downloads portal is used for both installation and upgrade procedures.
  2. Shutdown the Splunk AppDynamics, Anomaly Detection, and Cisco Secure Application services.
    appdcli stop secapp
appdcli stop aiops
appdcli stop appd
<<Wait for pods to terminate before deleting operators>>
appdcli stop operators
  3. Run the backup command:
    appdcli run backup
    This command generates a <backup_tar> file with all the necessary data.
  4. Copy and paste the backup file outside of the cluster.
