Backing up and restoring databases in stateless failover scenarios

A typical stateless failover scenario includes a primary IMC system and a backup IMC system:

For stateless failover, configure automatic backup on the primary server and configure automatic restoration on the backup server. During automatic backup and restoration, DBMan on the primary server performs the following operations:

  1. Periodically backs up database files.

  2. Uploads the backed up database files to the backup server.

  3. Instructs the backup server to restore the received database files.


    [NOTE: ]

    NOTE:

    In a stateless failover scenario, you can perform any of the operations in the Auto Backup and Recovery Settings dialog box to back up data:

    • Clear the option Delete local files after upload even if upload fails in the automatic backup configuration on the primary server.

    • Set a path in Backup files location fields in the automatic restoration configuration on the backup server.
