Veritas NetBackup™ CloudPoint Install and Upgrade Guide

To back up CloudPoint when it is deployed in a cloud

1. Stop CloudPoint services.

   Use the following command:

   # sudo docker run -it --rm -v /full_path_to_volume_name:/full_path_to_volume_name -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:version stop

   Here, version represents the currently installed CloudPoint product version. You can retrieve the version using the following command:

   # cat /cloudpoint/version

   For example:

   # sudo docker run -it --rm -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:8.3.0.8549 stop

   Note:

   This is a single command. Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.

2. Make sure that all CloudPoint containers are stopped. This step is important because all activity and connections to and from CloudPoint must be stopped to get a consistent CloudPoint backup.

   Enter the following:

   # sudo docker ps | grep veritas

   This command should not return any actively running CloudPoint containers.

3. (Optional) If you still see any active containers, repeat step 2. If that does not work, run the following command on each active container:

   # sudo docker kill container_name

   For example:

   # sudo docker kill flexsnap-api

4. After all the containers are stopped, take a snapshot of the volume on which you installed CloudPoint. Use the cloud provider's snapshot tools.
5. After the snapshot completes, restart CloudPoint services.

   Use the following command:

   # sudo docker run -it --rm -v /full_path_to_volume_name:/full_path_to_volume_name-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:version start

   Here, version represents the currently installed CloudPoint product version.

   For example:

   # sudo docker run -it --rm -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:8.3.0.8549 start

   Note:

   This is a single command. Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.

To backup CloudPoint when it is deployed on-premise

1. Stop CloudPoint services.

   Use the following command:

   # sudo docker run -it --rm -v /full_path_to_volume_name:/full_path_to_volume_name -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:version stop

   Here, version represents the currently installed CloudPoint product version.

   For example:

   # sudo docker run -it --rm -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:8.3.0.8549 stop

   Note:

   This is a single command. Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.

2. Make sure that all CloudPoint containers are stopped. This step is important because all activity and connections to and from CloudPoint must be stopped to get a consistent CloudPoint backup.

   Enter the following:

   # sudo docker ps | grep veritas

   This command should not return any actively running CloudPoint containers.

3. (Optional) If you still see any active containers, repeat step 2. If that does not work, run the following command on each active container:

   # sudo docker kill container_name

   For example:

   # sudo docker kill flexsnap-api

4. Back up the folder /cloudpoint. Use any backup method you prefer.

   For example:

   # tar -czvf cloudpoint_dr.tar.gz /cloudpoint

   This command creates a compressed archive file named cloudpoint_dr.tar.gz that contains the data in the /cloudpoint directory.
