Making a manual back-up

If you plan on installing the new version of IRIS Focus onto the system currently running the old version of IRIS Focus, you may want to consider making a backup before migrating. This backup will not be usable on the new system, but could be used if you decide to install the older release of IRIS Focus again.
  1. Log in to the server as root.
  2. Run: /usr/vaisala/radarsw/backup/bin/do-backups
  3. Check that new files are created in the following directories: 
    /srv/vaisala/radarsw/backup/configuration/radarsw-configuration-<timestamp>.tar.gz
    /srv/vaisala/radarsw/backup/database/radarsw-database-wx-<timestamp>.gz
    /srv/vaisala/radarsw/backup/database/radarsw-database-vsp-<timestamp>.gz
    /srv/vaisala/radarsw/backup/database/radarsw-database-keycloak-<timestamp>.gz

    Each backup file includes a timestamp in the format:

    radarsw-configuration-2019-09-05T06-48-26.tar.gz
