How can I backup the complete data from the container so that the restore is successful?

Using the default "Backup Files" repository to backup up my container only contains the agent.properties file and the agent.wrapper.conf file. As a result, SmartConnectors that have needed certs, parser overrides, map files, etc, are not restored is successfully.

How can I backup the complete data from the container so that the restore is successful?


By default, the "Backup Files" Repository has the following regular expressions:

Download

Exclude regular expression : (agentdata/ |cwsapi_fileset_).*$

Upload

Delete exclude regular expression: (agentdata/ | agent.wrapper.conf | cwsapi_fileset_).*$

These regular expressions cause the necessary SmartConnector files (certs, parsers, etc) to not be copied over to the container backup.

Workaround:

Create a new Repository and do not include the "exclude regular expression" for either the Download nor the Upload section, as follows:

1. From the Connector Appliance UI, go to Setup > Repositories

2. Select New Repository

3. Enter the Name, Display Name, Item display name and Filename Prefix

4. Save the created Repository.
