Disaster recovery

This procedure targets a deployment full recovery in following scenarios:

• Loss of all cloud storage resources.
• Loss of both kubernetes and cloud storage resources.

Requirements

• An access to recovered deployment backup storage from new hosting platform
• The values-data-stack-all.yaml and values-thingpark-stack-all.yaml customization files used to install the recovered deployment
• Use the same ThingPark Enterprise version to re-deploy
• Re-deploy with the same namespace name

Procedure

1. Use the Installation guide to deploy a new ThingPark Enterprise Helm release on your cluster. Use Charts version that you want to restore.

2. Identify a backup that you want to restore by listing available ones:

   kubectl exec -it -n $NAMESPACE deploy/tp-backup-controller -- list-backups

3. Validate that backup chart, appVersion and releaseNamespace fields match with redeployed version:

   kubectl exec -it -n $NAMESPACE deploy/tp-backup-controller -- get-backup-metadatas -e backup_name=<backup name>

4. Trigger the data restoration (command will ask for confirmation):

   kubectl exec -it -n $NAMESPACE deploy/tp-backup-controller -- restore -e backup_name=<backup name>
