Backup & Restore

Protect your data with application-centric backups. Use local snapshots for quick recovery or transfer backups to external object storage for safe keeping.

Procedure

Go to Services page in IBM Storage Fusion user interface.
In the Backup & Restore section, click Install.
In the Install Backup & Restore message box, select a Storage class.
The internal data catalog requires a minimum of 200 GB for ReadWriteOnce storage so select a storage class that satisfies this criteria.
Click Install.
After you enable the Backup & Restore, you can view the service version and health status. From the ellipsis menu, you can download logs and view documentation. After you successfully collect the logs, a success notification gets displayed. The notification disappears automatically after some time.
In case of other failures, go through the downloaded logs to understand the cause of the failure and fix the issue. For more information about service issues in IBM Storage Fusion, see Troubleshooting installation and upgrade issues in IBM Storage Fusion services.
