Backing up and restoring

You can backup and restore API Connect subsystems.

Note:
  • Backups are intended for recovery of the Management, Portal, and Analytics subsystems onto the same deployment from which they were taken, or onto a new replacement installation in the same environment for disaster recovery. The same environment means the same network configuration and project directory as the original installation.
  • You must back up both the Management and Portal subsystems at the same time, to ensure synchronicity across the services.
  • If you have to perform a restore, you must complete the restoration of the Management Service first, and then immediately restore the Developer Portal. The backups of the Management and Portal must be taken at the same time to ensure that the Portal sites are consistent with Management database.
  • When restoring, the Gateway and all deployed subsystems (Management, Analytics, and Developer Portal) must be at the same version level.
