To perform a basic backup of the platform, run the following backups:

1. Back up the Abiquo MySQL DBs with the date in timestamp format.

   Code Block
   mysqldump --routines --triggers kinton > kinton_dump_`date +%d%m%y`.sql.sql-$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S) mysqldump --routines --triggers kinton_accounting > kinton_accounting_dump_`date +%d%m%y`.sql

   Back up Redis

   .sql-$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)

   
   

2. Dump the redis datastore and back it up.

   Code Block
   redis-cli lastsave bgsave lastsave

   Back up the contents of opt abiquo

   save cp -a /var/lib/redis /var/lib/redis-$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)

   
   

3. Back up /opt/abiquo folder on all Abiquo platform servers.

   Code Block
   tar cvfz /opt-/abiquo.tgz-$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S) /opt/abiquo

   
   

4. Backup user interfaceBack up the UI

   Code Block
   tar cvfz /var-/www-/html-/ui.tgz-$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S) /var/www/html/ui

   
   

5. If you are using SAML authentication with multiple IdPs, back up this file from every API server:

   Code Block
   cp /opt/abiquo/tomcat/webapps/api/WEB-INF/classes/springresources/security/saml/security-saml-generated-beans.xml /opt/abiquo/tomcat/webapps/api/WEB-INF/classes/springresources/security/saml/security-saml-generated-beans.xml-$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)

   
   

When the backup steps are done, store the resulting files in a secure location.
