How to backup and restore datas ?

[PureStrgUser01]

Hello,

It's not really an issue, I apologize.
I want to backup datas stored in the VM.
And I'd like to be able to restore them, in case of reinstallation.

I didn't see anything about that in the documentation. The only subject I found is here : https://github.com/pure-garyyang/pureelk#data-persistence
But that seems not to be relevant for Pure1-unplugged.

Can you help me ?

Best regards.

Ah yes, you found the very old version of Unplugged (when it was still called PureELK).

For Unplugged right now, all of the ElasticSearch data is stored at the /mnt/elastic-data-pv and /mnt/elastic-master-pv-0 directories. I haven't confirmed what would happen if you tried to restore a VM with that data. Do note that, if you made a new VM and inserted that data in there, assuming it did work, there may be other issues regarding authentication with the arrays as we store the API tokens differently (as a Kubernetes secret instead of in Elasticsearch).
