The TeamForge Orchestrate backup and restore strategy involves a snapshot process
along with periodic database and RabbitMQ configuration backups for use during data restoration.
Backup and Restore Overview
The TeamForge backup and data restoration strategy involves two workflows:
- Snapshot of Orchestrate program files. On single-server installations
the snapshot process outputs a single compressed tar archive containing all TeamForge
Orchestrate program files. For multi-box installations, a snapshot must be taken of each
server. For detailed instructions and links to download snapshot tools, see the
Snapshot backup and restore documentation.
- Periodic backups. Alone, snapshots may be used to restore the system to the
point in time when the original snapshot was taken. Use the data backup process to periodically
backup the database and RabbitMQ configuration to supplement your snapshots with more current data.
Please note that data backups alone are insufficient to restore in case of catastrophic failure;
at least one snapshot is required for full system restoration. For detailed instructions on data backups,
see the Data back up and restore documentation.
