BackupServer

The BackupServer action creates a backup that can be used to restore the server's state.

The backup includes:

  • a copy of the configuration file (but this is not restored by the RestoreServer action)
  • the data in the index queue
  • state information for consistent hashing

Type: Synchronous

Parameter Name Description
ActionID A string to use to identify an ACI action.
Path

The folder in which to save the backup files.

The DIH appends a subfolder with a name that includes the current time, so if you specify ./backups, the backup files are copied to a folder such as ./backups/20220211T102316_10.0.0.1_9070.

Example

http://host:port/action=BackupServer&path=./backups
