Automatic backup/restore at start server

I would like an automatic backup of a schema to a file on every load and at a restart of icCube an automatic restore of the last backup. And of course an automatic cleanup of those files. This way we would have a lot less downtime on a restart.

It looks like icCube has that with backup and/or offline data, but I can't get that working like I described above. Is what I want possible and how?

Solution

  • You can activate the backup in the schema file (Advanced Properties).

    Now everytime you load the schema it will create a backup.

    And if you set "Load On Startup" as well, icCube is going to load the last backup available.

    There is no automatic cleanup: for that purpose you can use the Rest API available in the latest icCube. Otherwise, you can cleanup yourself the backup files created in the ~/icCube-data/backup folder.

    Hope that helps.
