Backup Enterprise Opsworks

Backing up your Solodev CMS Enterprise Opsworks involves logging in via SSH to the EC2 control server and running the backup script itself. The backup saves an image to a designated S3 bucket that is created upon software installation, using IAM user credentials also created at the time of installation. Before beginning this process, please take note of these 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 the following:

/root/backup.sh

4. You will then see confirmation that a backup has occurred
5. You can double check that a backup has occurred by checking the S3 bucket that was created at the time of software installation.
