Backing up CloudPoint
To back up CloudPoint when it is deployed in a cloud
- Stop CloudPoint services.
Use the following command:
# sudo docker run -it --rm -v /full_path_to_volume_name:/full_path_to_volume_name -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:version stop
Here, version represents the currently installed CloudPoint product version. You can retrieve the version using the following command:
# cat /cloudpoint/version
For example:
# sudo docker run -it --rm -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:8.3.0.8549 stop
Note:
This is a single command. Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.
- Make sure that all CloudPoint containers are stopped. This step is important because all activity and connections to and from CloudPoint must be stopped to get a consistent CloudPoint backup.
Enter the following:
# sudo docker ps | grep veritas
This command should not return any actively running CloudPoint containers.
- (Optional) If you still see any active containers, repeat step 2. If that does not work, run the following command on each active container:
# sudo docker kill container_name
For example:
# sudo docker kill flexsnap-api
- After all the containers are stopped, take a snapshot of the volume on which you installed CloudPoint. Use the cloud provider's snapshot tools.
- After the snapshot completes, restart CloudPoint services.
Use the following command:
# sudo docker run -it --rm -v /full_path_to_volume_name:/full_path_to_volume_name-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:version start
Here, version represents the currently installed CloudPoint product version.
For example:
# sudo docker run -it --rm -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:8.3.0.8549 start
Note:
This is a single command. Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.
To backup CloudPoint when it is deployed on-premise
- Stop CloudPoint services.
Use the following command:
# sudo docker run -it --rm -v /full_path_to_volume_name:/full_path_to_volume_name -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:version stop
Here, version represents the currently installed CloudPoint product version.
For example:
# sudo docker run -it --rm -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:8.3.0.8549 stop

- (Optional) If you still see any active containers, repeat step 2. If that does not work, run the following command on each active container:
# sudo docker kill container_name
For example:
# sudo docker kill flexsnap-api
- Back up the folder
/cloudpoint. Use any backup method you prefer.For example:
# tar -czvf cloudpoint_dr.tar.gz /cloudpoint
This command creates a compressed archive file named
cloudpoint_dr.tar.gzthat contains the data in the/cloudpointdirectory.
