Restoring a backup - AWS Elemental Conductor Live

Restoring a backup

To restore a backup version of the database on a Conductor Live, Elemental Live, or Elemental Statmux node, follow this procedure.

If you're restoring the Conductor Live database, restore to the primary Conductor Live node.

To restore the database

  1. At your workstation, start a remote terminal session to the Conductor Live node.

  2. Enter the following command to identify the version of Conductor Live that is currently installed.

    [elemental@hostname ~]$ cat /opt/elemental_se/versions.txt

    Several lines of information appear, including the version number. For example: Conductor Live (2.20.1.12345).

  3. Run the install script with the restore option.

    [elemental@hostname ~]$ sudo sh <product> --restore-db-backup <path> <backup-file> --https

    Where:

    • product is the product installer, including the version number that you obtained in the previous step. For example, if you are restoring on Conductor Live, the product installed might be:

      elemental_production_conductor_live_2.20.1.12345.run.

    • path is the path to the backup file.

    • backup-file is the file that you want to restore. This is a zipped file. Don't unzip the file; the restore command automatically unzips the file for you.

    • --https keeps HTTPS enabled. If you currently have HTTP enabled, include this option. If you don't currently have HTTPS enabled, omit this option.

  4. The file is unzipped and copied to the appropriate folder.
