In information technology, a backup, or the process of backing up, refers to the copying and archiving of computer data so it may be used to restore the original after a data loss event.
In InterSystems Data Platform backup means procedures for backing up data in database files and all the related procedures which assure that no any application data is being lost during backup and recovery.
I did not find any answer in the documentation and in the posts here to check if it also possible to migrate all databases from a native installed IRISHealth on Windows to my Community Edition in the container? Maybe anybody had tried this and can give me a hint.
I'm trying to perform a full backup using DO ^BACKUP, but the database keeps skipping the restoration. Does anyone know what I could do to allow the restoration?
I have set up a Docker image with IrisHealth Community Edition and created a backup of all databases with the Management Portal. Obviously, the restore requires a different way, i.e. a terminal or session needs to be started to use a "Do ^DBREST".
Due to the manual first a session (which is probably same as iristerm terminal) needs to be started:
I have been trying to do a backup from tape using the D ^DBREST command. I am not able to connect to the tape drive, that recently got replaced. It is configured and I can see it with IBM's ITDT. I did a test and it came back with the error below:
Are there any suggestions on how to fix this or what commands to use to get this opened and connected? I do appreciate it.
I have a client who' recently acquired a business that was running software that uses InterSystems IRIS as the database back end. In the process of preparing to have my company's software installed the client formatted the hard drive of his server, wiping out his data. I can't convert the data to MS SQL without a functioning database. He had a backup on an external drive, which I have copied down to my local machine. I loaded up a virtual machine with Windows 10 Pro, I installed Docker and IRIS. I started searching for explicit instructions for restoring the .CBK file, but I'm not hav
I am looking for experience of people running Veeam with Caché databases.
Tips/Tricks/General questions like; what Veeam features are you using, what your backup cycle looks like, where does your data end up, what recovery/integrity checks you do, what sort of compression/dedupe you get.
Also what questions _you_ have and what problems you might be trying to solve.
I have been revisiting our backup strategy, and spotted that IRIS supports VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) in Windows. This is quite attractive as an approach, as it automatically calls the external freeze and thaw commands.
However when calling these manually, there's quite a few parameters that can be set, and the documentation around VSS only states that the freeze/thaw commands are called.
Is there a way of controlling the parameters used, or at the very least know what the defaults are?
A customer is using Caché online backups and needs to automatically purge the cbk files with a scheduled task.
This is a wheel has been reinvented uncountable times already and I know somebody out there has a well written, extremely robust version that has already stood the test of time.
Does anyone have a nice routine/class/task for purging old Caché backup files?
My project need to restore the previous part of the log, and I use the rountine "^JRNRESTO" and filter. After recovery completed, the table structure is restored, but the table data is not restored， also unable to insert data into the table.
We are currently implementing the Data Innovations Instrument Manager product. In setting up our backup process we are wanting to use Veam snapshots. The application runs in a Caché 2016.1/Windows Server 2016 instance. We are running an HA primary/secondary/arbiter config. The statement below is from DI. I am curious to see what others that have implemented the DI Instrument Manager in the same or similar config have in place for backup.
"DI recommends is recommending that we not perform snapshots, but if you do choose to do so, here is some important information to consider.
Greetings community. I would like to know how to migrate a BD in production to a local environment. When I have a system in production (BD Sql Server) what we do is mount a local copy to do the analysis with the data and not occupy resources of the system in production. My question is: How do you do it with Intersystems technology?
For I=1:1:200 Set ^ABC(I)="" For I=1:1:200 Set ^XYZ(I)="" For I=1:1:100 Kill ^ABC(I)
2. create ZJRNFILT
ZJRNFILT(jid,dir,glo,type,restmode,addr,time) /*Filter*/ Set restmode=1 /*Return 1 for restore*/ If glo["^ABC",type="K" Set restmode=0 /*except if a kill on ^ABC*/ Quit ;
I am new to InsterSystems Cache - having a SQL Server background. However I am dealing with a Third Party who use InterSystems Cache to hold some of our data. To do some analysis I need to view a backup of the database. They are prepared to send me a backup.
My question is - how can I view this backup ( would this be the CACHE.dat file?).
Do I effectively need to have an installation of CACHE on my machine to be able to view this? Is it possible to view it from SQL Server?
We are currently using Ensemble on AIX. We are on 2015.2.2. If I install Field Test on a windows desktop, is it possible that I can import the Cache.dat from my AIX server, so I can do some Proof of Concept development?
Let's say you have about 100TB of data in multiple CACHE.DAT. The biggest one is about 30TB but mostly more than 1TB. You have limited time for maintenance during a day, and it is only a few hours at night. You have to check Integrity as much often as possible. And of course backup it.
I asked previously about the DR server in the cloud but actually, I'm curious about the backup server to use as analytics server more than for recovery in DR case.
There is a recommended practice to use an async mirror as a server for BI (InterSystems Analytics, DeepSee)
The question is if I have PRIMARY in the cloud (AWS, Google, Azure, etc) "how far" should async mirror member be placed? Same cloud, same private cloud or it doesn't matter at all for analytics purposes?
We are trying to migrate all our production to new IRIS servers. To test everything is working fine, and to be able to script the process, we want to import the data into new IRIS servers using a backup file (created with ^BACKUP). But we've found that IRIS doesn't recognize Ensemble backups so we can't import it using ^DBREST :-O
Any of you know how to import in IRIS an Ensemble backup file?
We are trying to write an external backup application to backup Cache Database. After going through the Cache DB documentation, we have found that in Backup.General class there are methods for creating snapshot (Freeze/Thaw) which is required during backup. Are there REST APIs for the same?
I have created some roles, and would like to know if there is a way to export the Roles and save them off to a file? I want to create a backup file of these roles for DR purpose, and in case I ever get hit by the preverbal bus.
