From 24.0.0-IF001 for troubleshooting IBM Storage Fusion Backup and Restore recipes, you can get the recipe log information and a list of the resources you backed up or restored.

Getting the backup or restore recipe log information

Do the following steps to obtain the backup or restore recipe log information. You can obtain the job UID either from the IBM Storage Fusion user interface (UI) or from the command line.
  1. Download the getRecipeWorkflow.sh shell script from the IBM Storage Fusion git repository.
  2. Do the following steps to obtain the job UID for the backup or restore job from the IBM Storage Fusion UI:
    1. Select Applications from the navigation page in the left side of the window.
    2. Select the Application from the table such as filebrowser.
    3. Click Backups.
    4. Select for the backup that you want and click Details.
    5. Click the hyperlink of the job name. For example:
      filebrowser-demo-daily-apps.spparch.spp-ocp.tuc.stglabs.ibm.com-202311220800
    6. Note the Job ID in the details window. For example:
      63eb6ea5-dc24-41ef-9fb7-199c48df1508
  3. Do the following steps to obtain the job UID for the backup or restore job from the command line:
    1. Open the YAML file for the Fusion Backup CR that you want. For example:
      oc get fbackup  filebrowser-demo-daily-apps.spparch.spp-ocp.tuc.stglabs.ibm.com-202311220800 -n ibm-spectrum-fusion-ns -o yaml
    2. Locate the UID field in the spec: metadata. For example:
      uid: 63eb6ea5-dc24-41ef-9fb7-199c48df1508
  4. Run the getRecipeWorkflow.sh shell script with the job UID. For example:
    ./getRecipeWorkflow.sh backup 63eb6ea5-dc24-41ef-9fb7-199c48df1508

Getting a list of the resources that you backed up or restored

Do the following steps to obtain a list of the resources that you backed up or restored:
  1. Download the getResources.sh shell script from the IBM Storage Fusion git repository.
  2. Obtain the job UID for the backup or restore job as described in the previous section.
  3. Run the getResources.sh shell script with the job UID. For example:
    ./getResources.sh backup 63eb6ea5-dc24-41ef-9fb7-199c48df1508
