Enterprise Server 3.20 is currently available as a release candidate.

Backup in clustering mode

Enable backup from a node in cluster.

Configuring backups from a cluster node

For clustering, you can designate a node as your backup server. To minimize latency, GitHub recommends picking a data node (for example, a mysql-server node or a git-server node) instead of a frontend node.

Important

Only one node can be specified as a backup-server node.

  1. To configure your backup server, set up a backup disk on one of the cluster nodes of your choice. See Configuring the backup service.

  2. After ghe-storage-init-backup is executed, the backup-server role will be set on this cluster node. You can now run ghe-backup directly on this node, or use the management console to schedule backups.
