Is there an accepted method to keep the engine backed up for use in disaste=
r recovery scenario? I'm new to postgres, so I'm not sure how to keep it h=
appy with dumps and restores. I've not yet seen a disaster check sheet for=
recovery, but that doesn't mean I didn't google good enough.
Is there a workable process for how this would be recovered after total (en=
gine) system failure?
Thanks,
jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
This is the script we use in our company for ovirt-engine backups:
#!/bin/bash
DB_EXPORT_PATH=3D/usr/share/ovirt-engine/db-backups
DB_BKUP_FILENAME=3Ddump_engine_`date "+%Y%m%d_%H%M"`.sql
DB_NAME=3Dengine
ENGINE_BKUP_FILENAME=3Dbkup_engine_conf_`date "+%Y%m%d_%H%M"`.tgz
ENGINE_CONF=3D'/etc/jboss-as/jboss-as.conf
/etc/ovirt-engine
/etc/pki/ovirt-engine
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/dbscripts
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/conf
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/resources/jboss
/root/.pgpass
/root/.rnd'
# Perform DB-Backup
pg_dump -C -E UTF8 --column-inserts \
--disable-dollar-quoting \
--disable-triggers \
-U postgres \
--format=3Dp \
-f $DB_EXPORT_PATH/$DB_BKUP_FILENAME \
$DB_NAME
# Perform backup of Engine Configuration
tar zcf $DB_EXPORT_PATH/$ENGINE_BKUP_FILENAME $ENGINE_CONF
# Copy Backups to SMB Backup storage
cp $DB_EXPORT_PATH/$DB_BKUP_FILENAME $DB_EXPORT_PATH/$ENGINE_BKUP_FILENAME =
/mnt/backup
# Remove older backups
find $DB_EXPORT_PATH -mtime +5 -exec rm {}\;
find /mnt/backup -mtime +5 -exec rm {}\;
We have this VM running in a separate KVM Fail-over Cluster, based on LVM.
Generate one or more LVM snapshots (can also be done via monthly cronjobfor=
example) of your engine + data/db backups of your engine should be enough.
Please notice this bash script is currently working for oVirt engine 3.0, s=
o you will maybe need some customizations for 3.1?
Best,
Sven.
