listBackups

Lists available Artifact snapshots and Environment Backups created by the daily maintenance process, to determine if a specific backup is available so that you can use it to restore the current environment by yourself.

Before trying to restore a specific backup, use this command to check if the required backup is available in Oracle Object Storage. If the backup is available, you can restore it to your current environment using the following process:

  • To restore an archived Artifact Snapshot to the current environment, copy it to the current environment by running the restoreBackup command. After copying the backup, you can use the importSnapshot command to bring the environment to the state it was in when the restored snapshot was taken.

  • To restore the current environment using an archived Environment Backup, run the restoreEnvironment command.

For services other than Narrative Reporting, this command lists available backup snapshots (created by the daily maintenance process) using the naming convention YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS/Artifact_Snapshot.zip; for example, 2022-02-16T21:00:02/Artifact_Snapshot.zip. For Narrative Reporting, available snapshots use the naming convention YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS/EPRCS_Backup.tar.gz; for example, 2022-02-16T21:00:02/EPRCS_Backup.tar.gz. Environment Backups are listed using the naming convention YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS/Environment_Backup. The timestamp reflects the UTC time when the backup was created. The following illustration displays a sample command output.
