Backup and Restore

Regularly backing up your Netsocs Synergy instance is one of the most critical maintenance tasks.
A solid backup strategy protects against:

  • Hardware failures.
  • Data corruption.
  • Human errors.
  • Cyberattacks or unforeseen incidents.

INFO
A good backup plan ensures operational continuity and historical data integrity.

Key Backup Principles

Before choosing a method, consider the following:

  • Data Consistency: The backup must be made at a single point in time, avoiding corrupt backups.
  • External Storage: Always store backups off the production server.
  • 3-2-1 Rule:
  • 3 copies of your data.
  • 2 different storage types.
  • 1 off-site copy.

Backup Strategy

The procedure depends on how your platform is installed:

  • Backup in Docker Environments
    For Docker container installations, focused on backing up persistent volumes.

  • Backup in Virtual Machine (VM) Environments
    For installations inside a VM managed in VMware, Proxmox, Hyper-V, etc.

Backup in Docker Environments

In Docker, all persistent data (configuration, database, licenses) is stored in volumes.
