Through the Advanced tab, you can create a backup of the entire TMS database to .xml
format or restore from an earlier backup.
Note: All configuration data is encrypted in the TMS datastore and remains encrypted when written to a backup file.
To create a backup of the TMS datastore:
- Click Backup.
- Through the File Download dialog, you can specify where to save the backup file.
Restoring the TMS database
Complete the following steps to restore your TMS database from a backup.
Warning: Restoring a TMS backup overwrites all existing data in the TMS datastore and causes the TMS service to suspend requests temporarily until the restore process is complete.
Note: After the datastore has been restored on the TMS master, a command is sent to each TMS slave to re-synchronize its local data. Resynchronization may include pushing out a different version of one or more configurations. The components are not automatically restarted after this process, so it is usually a good idea to restart all Tealeaf services after a restore.
To restore from a backup:
- Enter the full path to the
.xml
file, or click the Browse button to navigate to the file. - To begin the restore, select the file and click Restore.
The TMS datastore can also be backed up via file copy. The TMS datastore files are located in the following directory:
<Install_Directory>\System\TMSStore
