Configuring Backup and Restoration of a Microservice Engine

The ServiceStage console provides the backup and restoration functions. You can back up and restore microservice engine data, including microservices, contracts, configurations, and account roles.

You can customize backup policies to periodically or manually back up microservice engines.

Background

  • Each exclusive microservice engine supports a maximum of 15 successful backups, including a maximum of 10 manual backups and a maximum of 5 automatic backups.
  • The backup data will be stored for 10 days. Expired backup data will be deleted.

Automatic Backup

  2. Select the target microservice engine from the Microservice Engine drop-down list in the upper part of the page.
  3. In the Backup and Restoration area, click Automatic backup settings and set backup parameters.

Restoring Backup Data

The backup data will overwrite the current data of the microservice engine. As a result, the microservice and service instances may be messed, and dynamic configurations may be lost. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

If security authentication is enabled, the backup data contains the account information. You are advised to disable security authentication before restoring the backup data. Otherwise, the authentication for accessing the microservice engine may fail after the restoration.

  1. Log in to ServiceStage and choose Cloud Service Engine > Engines.
  2. Select the target microservice engine from the Microservice Engine drop-down list in the upper part of the page.
  3. In the Backup and Restoration area, click Restore in the Operation column of the row that contains the specified backup data.

    1. Select I have read and fully understand the risks.
    2. Click OK. To view the restoration status, click Restoration History in the Backup and Restoration area.

Deleting Backup Data

  1. Log in to ServiceStage and choose Cloud Service Engine > Engines.
  2. Select the target microservice engine from the Microservice Engine drop-down list in the upper part of the page.
