Backups and restores
If you want to promote a node to Primary in your cluster, follow these steps:
- Go to the Nodes tab.
- Click on the Promote button with the arrow icon next to the node you wish to promote.
A confirmation popup will appear, asking if you really want to promote this node.
If you confirm, a health check will be processed before the promotion process begins:
- If the node is not healthy, another popup will appear, warning you that the node cannot be promoted.
- If the node is healthy, the following steps will occur:
- The selected node will be reconfigured as the Primary node.
- All other nodes will be reconfigured as Replicas, pointing to the new Primary.
- Once the process is complete, a BORG backup will be automatically created with the new Primary.
