Back Up the Domain Home

The backup operation takes a backup of the domain homes for all nodes in an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance cluster.

Prerequisites:

Enable backup and restore either in the provisioning wizard, or by editing the Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance. See Enable Backup/Restore configuration in Provision an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace Instance in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
Make sure that you have enough space in the domain block volume to copy the domain home backups before running the backup script.

To back up the domain home for all nodes in an Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance cluster:

Use the ssh command to connect to the Administration Server VM (as the opc user):
```
ssh -i private_key opc@AdminServerVM_IP_address
```
Change to the oracle user:
```
sudo su - oracle
```
Run the backup script to initiate the domain home backup:
```
/opt/scripts/runbooks/backup.sh
```
This command backs up the domain homes from all the nodes of the cluster, encrypts the backup ZIP file, and uploads the ZIP file to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage under a folder named with the service name, and a subfolder named with timestamp of the backup.
