How to Backup and Restore Bitnami Moodle on AWS ECS2


I have Bitnami Moodle up and running on Amazon AWS ECS2 for about a year without a problem, I also have a LAMP Server installation, which I haven't done anything with yet.

I want to know how to Back Up my Bitnami Moodle so that I can bring down the server and reinstall a server with other Bitnami installations: Moodle, LAMP, and Wordpress.

Does a AWS ECS2 Snapshot back up Bitnami Moodle?


Solution

  • Bitnami developer here.

    In order to backup/restore your server you should follow this guide: https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/apps/moodle/#how-to-create-a-full-backup-of-moodle

    Also, the aws ec2 snapshot should be something that you can apply to all your servers, so I think you won't have any problem to create some snapshots of your server:
