will a partial backup of just say mongo work? Or are all the dbs expected to restore together?
as to not create a snapshot of an unstable state?
I would assume so, but you'll have to shut down the entire system to do that
(to back up as well, not just to restore)
OK, got it. Thank you @<1523701087100473344:profile|SuccessfulKoala55> !
Thanks for the response. So I’ll go with an automated snapshot.
What should I expect to be stored in ES and mongo, and what’s in the file server?
Hi @<1528908687685455872:profile|MassiveBat21> , the fileserver can be backed up using a volume snapshot. As for the other databases (ES, Mongo), you should use the appropriate backup method recommended in their documentation
Hi @<1523701087100473344:profile|SuccessfulKoala55> , just as an afterthought:
Since elastic and mongo data are stored in volumes too, couldn’t a restore simply mean restoring a snapshot of all those 3 volumes as a whole?
fileserver contains uploaded files (like debug samples, perhaps models and artifacts if you're not using S3 or the like), ES contains metrics and events and Mongo has all the metadata
