The osc-config-backup tool simplifies the process of backing up SuperCluster component configurations. The backup data is stored on the internal ZFS storage appliance.
To obtain an initial backup snapshot of the components immediately following the SuperCluster deployment
To back up components prior to and after performing a QFSDP upgrade
To save the component configurations prior to unforeseen hardware or software failures, thereby providing a means of recovery
Schedule the configuration backup during a time when the system is at rest.
Depending on your specific environment and the amount of data on SuperCluster, allocate plenty of time to allow your backup to run, which takes many hours.
