(Note: The following doesn't apply to the SaaS version of Asset Center)
OT-BASE Asset Center automatically produces database backups every twelve hours that are stored in the directory that you have defined for backups in the installation process (/var/ot-base/backup by default).
If for any reason you want to trigger the creation of a database backup manually, you can do so on your server's command line by invoking the command
$ docker exec ot-base backup
Restoring a backup after installing a product update
When you install a new version of OT-BASE Asset Center, the installation script (ot-base.install) will
- Automatically perform a backup of the current database and associated user provided file attachments
- Automatically restore that backup after installing the new software version is completed.
Restoring a backup for crash recovery
In case you want to / have to force a recovery because your data was corrupted, your VM was destroyed etc., the recommended procedure is:
- On the target system, manually create the folder /var/ot-base/backup
- Make the OT-BASE distribution medium with the latest version accessible by the server
- Execute the installation script with the parameter --no-backup, which will prevent the script to attempt producing a backup of the non-existing or corrupt database:
$ bash ot-base.install --no-backup
