Backing up and restoring Open Data for Industries

The Open Data for Industries service is backed up and restored as part of IBM® Cloud Pak for Data. Disaster recovery for the Open Data for Industries service is configured as part of disaster recovery for Cloud Pak for Data.

About this task

When you back up Cloud Pak for Data, backups are created of persistent volumes that are used by the Open Data for Industries service to preserve configurations. Restoring Cloud Pak for Data resets the Open Data for Industries persistent volumes that contain service state, configurations, and properties back to the time when the backup was taken.

Ensure that you understand which backup methods are supported and what you need to back up.
Service Supports OADP backups Supports volume snapshots Supports volume backups Notes
Open Data for Industries  

You must back up and restore the Open Data for Industries project and the osdu-service-mesh project.

For more information about Cloud Pak for Data backup and restore procedures, see Backing up and restoring an entire deployment.
Important: The restored backup taken with OpenShift® APIs for Data Protection (OADP) needs manual configuration for the restored Openshift Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) resources.
Note: In the scenario of Backing up and restoring an instance of Cloud Pak for Data to a different cluster, you need to follow the "Specialized installation" instructions and replace cpd-operators project (namespace) with the Open Data for Industries operator namespace, which you specified during the initial installation.
