Backing up and restoring DSE Graphs in OpsCenter
Guidelines for backing up and restoring DSE Graphs using the OpsCenter Backup Service. DataStax recommends upgrading to OpsCenter 6.5 or later to take advantage of simplified backups and restores for DSE Graphs.
- The versions of DSE and OpsCenter.
- The type of restore operation (to the same cluster or cloned data to a different cluster).
- Whether or not a graph was dropped.
DataStax highly recommends upgrading to OpsCenter 6.5 or later to take advantage of
improved and simplified backups and restores for DSE Graphs. To restore a graph
backup from DSE 5.1 to DSE 6.0 or later, the backup must be taken in OpsCenter 6.5
or later. The graph_name_pvt
table has been
removed for DSE versions 6.0 and later. When restoring a DSE 5.1.x graph, the
_pvt
table is removed during the restore process by OpsCenter
6.5 and later.
For example, if a DSE Graph 5.1 backup was taken in OpsCenter 6.5, the DSE Graph 5.1 graph can be restored in DSE 6.0.
