The TeamForge EventQ 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 EventQ program files. On single-server installations the
snapshot process outputs a single compressed tar archive containing all
TeamForge EventQ 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.
