Backup and restore

Pentaho Data Catalog provides deployment-specific backup and restore capabilities that help administrators protect critical application data and recover the environment after data loss, service failure, host failure, or an unsuccessful maintenance activity.

Backup configuration, storage, and restore procedures differ depending on whether Data Catalog is deployed by using Docker Compose or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Use the procedure that corresponds to your deployment type.

Docker Compose deployments

In Docker Compose deployments, Data Catalog supports automated backups through Ofelia cron jobs and manual backup and restore operations through the pdc.sh script. Backup data is stored in Docker volumes on the Docker host.

For configuration, backup, verification, restore, and recovery instructions, see Backup and restore in Docker.

Amazon EKS deployments

In Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) deployments, Data Catalog supports automated backups via Kubernetes CronJobs and manual backups via Kubernetes commands. Backup data can be stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), or Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS).

For configuration, backup, verification, and restore instructions, see Backup and restore in Amazon EKS.

Backup and restore operations must be performed by administrators who have access to the Data Catalog deployment environment and its configuration files.
