CoPilot Index Data Backup

This section discusses how to back up the data in CoPilot data indexes (AWS Only).

For information about backing up core configuration data for the CoPilot platform, see CoPilot Configuration Data Backup.

In CoPilot > Settings > > Maintenance > CoPilot Management tab, the Data Management options pertain to the CoPilot data that is stored in the Aviatrix Controller backup S3 bucket if you have created an S3 backup for your controller.

The folder in the S3 bucket that pertains to CoPilot data can be backed up regularly using this option and restored if needed. The data is the data for CoPilot indexes. If you have more than one CoPilot associated with your controller, the S3 bucket will have a folder that pertains to the CoPilot data for each CoPilot instance.

It is recommended to do backups of your CoPilot index data at least once per week.

Click the Modify button on the Automatic Data Backup to specify the frequency for creating backups and the maximum number of backups you want to retain before CoPilot will delete the oldest one.

Use the Restore from Backup tile to choose the backup you want to restore (based on backup name or UUID) and perform the backup. Schedule your restore for a maintenance window as it is not recommended to make changes to CoPilot data using the CoPilot UI during the restore process.
