Back up procedure¶

This page describes the prerequisites and steps for backing up a DataRobot installation, including custom certificates and using an automated script to back up configuration, secrets, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB.

You can execute this operation from any macOS or GNU/Linux machine that has sufficient space to store the backup archive:

1. Copy the full_backup_script.py script available in the datarobot-oss repo to the designated backup machine:

   • For release 10.x: 10.x/full_backup_script.py
   • For release 11.x and later: 11.x/full_backup_script.py.

2. Refer to the prerequisites section to install utilities and set required environment variables.

python3 full_backup_script.py "${NAMESPACE}" "${BACKUP_LOCATION}"

The automated script backs up the following components:

1. Configuration
2. Secrets
3. PostgreSQL
4. MongoDB

You must manually back up the following components:

1. Custom certificates
2. Elasticsearch
3. Long running services
