Backup Enterprise

Overview

Backing up your Solodev CMS Enterprise involves connecting to the control server through an SSH client and running the backup script itself. The backup saves an image to designated S3 bucket that is created upon software installation, using IAM user credentials also created at the time of installation. Before beginning this process, users should refer to the prerequisites.

Prerequisites

• EC2 Key Pair.
  • In order to SSH into the server.
  • This should be the same Key Pair selected when originally installing the software.

Step 1 – Take a Backup

1. Refer to the SSH Into an EC2 Server on the Common Tasks & Commands page for instructions on connecting to the control server through an SSH client.
2. Once connected, assume admin rights by running sudo bash.
3. Run the backup command by typing: /root/backup.sh
4. The user will see confirmation that backup has occurred.
5. Users can perform additional verification to confirm that the backup was completed successfully by checking the S3 bucket that was created at the time of software installation.
