Configure the NFS Server on the globals.yaml.gotmpl File

Enable NFS backup settings for datastores in the globals.yaml.gotmpl file.

  1. Enable the fs section for datastores to back up using the NFS server. See globals.yaml.gotmpl file.
    Elasticsearch
    CODE 
    # Backup config for datastores
backup:
  elasticsearch:
    fs:
      enabled: true
      storage: 5Gi
    PostgreSQL
    CODE 
    # Backup config for datastores
backup:
  postgresql:
    fs:
      enabled: true
      repoName: repo3
      storage: 5Gi
    MySQL
    CODE 
    # Backup config for datastores
backup:
  mysql:
    fs:
      enabled: true
      repoName: repo3
      storage: 5Gi
  2. (Optional) Create a repository to back up the data in the NFS server.
    Note:

    • In a Standard Deployment, Elasticsearch data is stored within the Virtual Appliance. Therefore, the Elasticsearch backup and restore steps are applicable only to the Standard deployment.

    • You can create a repository only for the Elasticsearch backup.

      By default, the globals.yaml.gotmpl file uses the repo3 repository for MySQL and PostgreSQL.

    CODE 
    appdcli run es_backup create-fs-repo repo3
  3. Run the following command to sync the changes across nodes:
    CODE 
    appdcli sync appd <profile>
