Elestio offers a BORG Backup section specifically for managing backups.
For clusters, only the backups of the Primary node are supported.
If you promote a new node to Primary, a new BORG backup will automatically be created for security purposes, ensuring a healthy backup of your cluster. From that point, new backups will target the new Primary.

 

Backups

Backups are created automatically once per day, but you can also create them manually.

To create a manual backup:

1. Go to the Backups tab of your cluster.
2. In the Automated Remote Backups (BORG) section, click the + button to expand the section.
3. Click the Back Up Now button to create a new BORG backup.

Restores

To restore a BORG backup:

1. Go to the Backups tab of your cluster.
2. Click the + button to display the list of your backups.
3. Find the backup you wish to restore and click the Restore button (with a rounded arrow icon).

A popup will appear to confirm that the restore process is in progress.

During the restoration process, your cluster will be temporarily unavailable, as the following actions will take place:

1. The Primary node will be restored.
2. All Replicas will be reconfigured in the following manner:
   • Replicas will be reset from scratch.
   • Once cleared and reconfigured to point to the Primary, each Replica will be restored with a backup directly from the Primary node to ensure they are fully synchronized.

Once the process is complete, you will receive an email notifying you that your cluster is active and operational again.
