Backing up Automation Document Processing

If you use Automation Document Processing, back up the secrets and your PostgreSQL databases.

Procedure

  1. Make a copy of the secrets. To retrieve the secrets, run the following command: 
    kubectl --namespace $ADP_RELEASE_NAMESPACE get secret ibm-adp-secret -o yaml
  2. Synchronize your Document processing projects with a remote Git repository to minimize risk of data loss.
  3. Back up the PostgreSQL data.
    1. For an external PostgreSQL server, see the backup documentation of your PostgreSQL provider.
    2. If you use the IBM PG (CNPG) instance of the Cloud Pak for Business Automation deployment, see Backing up IBM PG (CNPG) for instructions for the backup of this server. If you are using CNPG as the database type for your entire deployment, you will follow documentation to backup all the databases, including the ADP Git Gateway database. If you are using DB2® as your database type, you will have an ADP Git Gateway database on the CNPG instance to backup.
