Restoring CloudPoint

You can restore CloudPoint using any of the following methods:

Recover CloudPoint using a snapshot you have in the cloud
Recover CloudPoint using a backup located on-premises

Using CloudPoint snapshot located in the cloud

To recover CloudPoint using a snapshot you have in the cloud

Using your cloud provider's dashboard or console, create a volume from the existing snapshot.
Create a new virtual machine with specifics equal to or better than your previous CloudPoint server.
Install Docker on the new server.
Attach the newly-created volume to this CloudPoint server instance.
Create the CloudPoint installation directory on this server.
Use the following command:
# mkdir /full_path_to_cloudpoint_installation_directory
For example:
# mkdir /cloudpoint
Mount the attached volume to the installation directory you just created.
Use the following command:
# mount /dev/device-name /full_path_to_cloudpoint_installation_directory
For example:
# mount /dev/xvdb /cloudpoint
Verify that all CloudPoint related configuration data and files are in the directory.
Enter the following command:
# ls -l /cloudpoint
Download or copy the CloudPoint installer binary to the new server.
Install CloudPoint.
Use the following command:
```
# sudo docker run -it --rm 
-v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint 
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock 
veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:8.3.1.5300 install
```
Here, 8.3.1.5300 represents the CloudPoint version. Replace it as per your currently installed product version.
Note:
This is a single command. Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.
The installation program detects an existing version of CloudPoint and re-installs all CloudPoint services without overwriting existing content.
Messages similar to the following are displayed on the command prompt:
```
Configuration started at time Wed May 13 22:20:47 UTC 2020
This is a re-install.
Checking if a 1.0 release container exists ...
```
Note the line that indicates that the operation is a re-install.
When the installation completes, you can resume working with CloudPoint using your existing credentials.

Using CloudPoint backup located on-premise

To recover CloudPoint using a backup located on-premise

Copy the existing CloudPoint backup to the new CloudPoint server and extract it to the CloudPoint installation directory.
In the following example, because /cloudpoint was backed up, the command creates a new /cloudpoint directory.
# tar -zxf cloudpoint_dr.tar.gz -C /cloudpoint/
Download or copy the CloudPoint installer binary to the new server.
Install CloudPoint.
Use the following command:
```
# sudo docker run -it --rm 
-v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint 
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock 
veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:8.3.1.5300 install
