Configuring for backup - AWS Elemental Conductor Live

Configuring for backup

This section describes how to modify the backup configuration so that AWS Elemental Conductor Live creates database backups on a remote server. (The default configuration is to back up to a directory on the node.)

You only need to change the configuration on the primary Conductor Live node. The secondary node will copy the configuration information from the primary node.

To configure for backups
  1. Identify a server and directory on your network for backups. Make a note of the path.

  2. Mount the server to the Conductor Live nodes, as described in Adding mount points to worker nodes.

  3. On the Conductor Live web interface, go to the Settings page and choose General.

  4. In the Cluster Tasks section, change these fields as desired:

    • Minutes between management database backups: Change if you want.

    • Management database backups to keep: Change if you want.

    • Path to store management database backups: Specify the path on the remote server.

  5. Choose Save.
