Backing up Maximo Assist

If Maximo Assist is deployed on IBM Cloud® , Amazon Web Services, or an on-premises environment, you back up the namespace for Maximo Assist, CouchDB data, and Watson Discovery data. You can also back up the data in the cloud object storage.

Before you begin

• You need access to the Red Hat® OpenShift® command-line interface (CLI). Make sure that the oc command is in your path and that you have administrator credentials. For more information, see Getting started with Open Shift CLI.
• You need to install the yq command-line interface, which is a lightweight and portable command-line processor for YAML, JSON, and XML. For more information, see yq Quick usage guide.
