Backup and restore of IBM Software Hub to the same or different cluster

IBM Software Hub is now integrated with IBM Fusion HCI System, which enables you to create online backups and to restore them to the same cluster or to a different cluster.

To create IBM Software Hub backups with IBM Fusion or IBM Fusion HCI System, see Creating and scheduling online backups of IBM Software Hub with IBM Fusion.

To restore IBM Software Hub online backup and restore to the same cluster with IBM Fusion or IBM Fusion HCI System, see IBM Software Hub online backup and restore to the same cluster with IBM Fusion.

To restore IBM Software Hub backups to a different cluster with IBM Fusion or IBM Fusion HCI System, see IBM Software Hub online backup and restore to a different cluster with IBM Fusion.

Remember: IBM Cloud Paks instance backups cannot be created when continuous backup is enabled on the MongoDB service.

Note: You can restore backup data to a different StorageClass provisioner on an alternate cluster, for example, restore data that was originally backed-up from a CephFS provisioned StorageClass to a Scale provisioned StorageClass.

The Restore CR includes an optional spec field, targetStorageClass where you can specify a specific storage class for the restore. It is only available through manually created Restore CRs from the command line.

If the targetStorageClass is not provided, the same storage class as the backup is attempted for the restore.
If the targetStorageClass field is not provided and the same storage class as the backup is not available, the default storage class of the system is used.

The targetStorageClass is not supported for IBM Software Hub.
