Resolution

The following Data Aggregator Backup documentation covers the majority backup steps for a Data Aggregator, standalone or FT.

For similar documentation about restoration see the Data Aggregator Restoration documentation 

The additional files to back up for a FT DA configuration are around the Proxy Consul services and configuration on the DA's themselves as well as the Proxy Host.

When restoring a failed environment, reinstall the FT DA's and Proxy Host on systems with the same name and IP address as the failed ones. Replace the newly installed files with the following files backed up from the old systems.

Directories on DA or Proxy Host (default paths shown):

• DA directories
  • /opt/IMDataAggregator/consul/consul.cfg
  • /opt/IMDataAggregator/consul/conf/config.json
  • /opt/IMDataAggregator/consul/conf/<certs>
  • /opt/IMDataAggregator/consul-ext/conf.config.json
  • /etc/consul-ext.cfg
• Proxy Host
  • /opt/CA/daproxy/conf/config.json
  • /opt/CA/daproxy/conf/daproxy.toml
  • /opt/CA/daproxy/conf/<certs>
  • /opt/CA/daproxy/consul/consul.cfg
