About backing up and restoring MicroShift data
Backing up and restoring MicroShift data applies to the database only, and not to any application data. Before you can create a manual backup, greenboot health checks must finish running and you must stop the MicroShift service.
-
On
rpm-ostreesystems, MicroShift automatically creates a backup on every start. These automatic backups are deleted and replaced with the latest backup each time the system restarts. -
Data is also automatically restored on an
rpm-ostreesystem after a greenboot system rollback. This data restoration ensures that the database matches the software running on the host after the rollback is completed. -
On other system types, you must back up and restore data manually.
Automated backups are in the /var/lib/microshift-backups directory by default. You can use this directory for manually backing up and restoring data by specifying it in each command. When you restore a backup, you must use the entire file path.
