Configuring backups for Developer Portal on OpenShift and Cloud Pak for Integration
Configure backups for the Developer Portal service in your OpenShift or Cloud Pak for Integration environment.
About this task
Run commands in the namespace where the Developer Portal is installed.
For points to consider when you are backing up and restoring a two data center configuration, see Backup and restore requirements for a two data center deployment.
The default Developer Portal backup schedule is once every 24 hours, but the schedule can be changed in the backup settings. The Developer Portal saves all system and site backups locally, and also saves them remotely based on the configured SFTP and s3 settings.
The local backups are automatically maintained so that the latest three backups of each site and of the system are kept, and older backups are removed. This maintenance means that the Developer Portal retains the latest three backups for each site and for the system however old they are, but there is no deletion of the old backups on the remote server. If a site is deleted, then all of the local backups for that site are also deleted, as otherwise the backup volume might become full of old site backups. For remote backups, you can configure a retention policy on your remote server to remove the old backup files as required.
