Easy Installer Database Restores

As we are using kubernetes to host databases, so approach is different to restore database

Refer the following link to take backup of the databases:

Neo4j Restore

1. copy backup folder from the azure storage account to the pod which you will create with the below manifest, this pod will mount same pv where data is present of neo4j.

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: ubuntu-deployment
  labels:
    app: ubuntu
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: ubuntu
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: ubuntu
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: ubuntu
        image: ubuntu
        command: ["sleep", "123456"]
        volumeMounts:
        - mountPath: /data
          name: neo4j-data
      volumes:
      - name: neo4j-data
        persistentVolumeClaim:
          claimName: neo4j-claim

2. scale neo4j deployment to 0

   kubectl command

3. Go inside the pod which you created with the manifest, navigate to /data/databases, rename graph.db to graph.db.backup and paste the graph.db folder at same location. Exit from the pod

   kubectl command to login
   cd /data/databases
   mv 
   cp

4. Scale again neo4j pod to 1 which will load the data from the backup data

   kubectl command to setup replicas to 1

5. Remove deployment which was created to restore neo4j backup

Elasticsearch Restore

As we took elasticsearch backup with help of azure plugin

Commands to login to the pod

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/azurebackup' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "type": "azure", "settings": { "container": "<blob_name>", "base_path": "<storage_account_name>"} }'

restore the snapshot with below command

curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/azurebackup/snapshot_1/_restore'

checking status of the snapshot restore

curl -s "http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/azurebackup/snapshot_1/_status?pretty"

Cassandra Restore
