Configuring Backup and Restore for Anypoint Platform PCE
Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition (Anypoint Platform PCE) requires you to install, configure, and manage an NFS server, ensuring frequent backups are configured and performed.
To preserve your data:
-
Enable automatic backups to protect against system failures or operational issues.
-
Schedule backups at least daily, or more frequently based on your needs.
-
Store backups externally, outside the Anypoint Platform cluster.
The backup and restore process is controlled via Anypoint Platform PCE APIs.
Create a Backup
To create a backup, run the following command:
curl -k <platform-dns>/platform/backup-X POST -H 'Authorization: Bearer ${token}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"backup-file-name": "${backupFileName}.tar.gz", "nfs-server": "${fileSystemDns}", "nfs-path": "/"}'

Perform a System Restore
Consider the following before you perform a system restore:
-
Before running a restore, configure certain settings, such as NFS, certificates, and DNS because they are not included in the backup.
-
Backups cannot be transferred between different versions of Anypoint Platform PCE; therefore, your new installation must match the version of your backup.
To perform the restore, run the following command:
curl -k <platform-dns>/platform/restore-X POST -H 'Authorization: Bearer ${token}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"backup-file-name": "${backupFileName}.tar.gz", "nfs-server": "${fileSystemDns}", "nfs-path": "/"}
The backup file is stored on the NFS storage.
