Backing up and restoring the analytics database

The API Connect analytics database can be backed up and restored from an S3 repository. S3 compatible object storage is required; for example, IBM Cloud Object Storage.

About this task

Before you can initiate a backup or restore operation, you must update the Analytics CR (custom resource) to configure your settings. Generating a backup for Analytics is performed on demand by deploying a backup CR. You can deploy a restore CR to start the restoration of a previously generated backup.
