Automation Suite on Linux installation guide
Last updated Mar 26, 2026
Backing up and restoring the cluster
Automation Suite supports the backup and restore functionality to prevent data loss in various scenarios. You can configure a backup any time post-installation.
To use the backup and restore functionality, you must enable one backup target, backup cluster, and restore cluster. These concepts are defined in the following section.
Important:
Backup and restore via virtual machines snapshots is not supported.
Terminology
Backup Cluster - The cluster you set up to install Automation Suite. This is the cluster where you will enable the backup.
Backup Target - The target where backup data will be stored and will be used for restore purpose. It can be any one of the following based on which objectstore is used to installthe backup cluster:
- NFS Server - The server that stores the backup data and facilitates the restoration. You can set up the NFS server on any machine or a PaaS service offered by cloud providers. Note that we do not support Windows-based NFS and Azure blob-based NFS.
- External ObjectStore - A storage location that stores backup data and facilitates restoration. You must provide the objectstore to store the backup data. This objectstore must be different from the one where user files are stored while using the Automation Suite cluster.
- Local Disk - Supported only for single-node clusters. It is a disk attached to your backup cluster for storing backup data. For restoration, you must first safely unmount and detach the disk from the backup cluster, then attach it to the restore server.
Note:
For single-node clusters using a local disk for backups, make sure to allocate at least an additional 512 GB of disk space for Ceph data backups. For details, refer to Partitioning the disks.
Restore Cluster - The cluster where you restore all the data from the backup cluster. This becomes the new cluster where you run Automation Suite once the restore process is complete.
Setting up the backup target
The following table summarizes the supported backup target configurations based on the type of objectstorage used when installing Automation Suite in the backup cluster.
Important:
Any other combination of Automation Suite installation type and backup target is not supported.
| Automation Suite installation type | Backup target | Node count | Supported |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-cluster Ceph storage | NFS | Single-server node | ✅ |
| In-cluster Ceph storage | NFS | Multi-server node | ✅ |
| In-cluster Ceph storage | Local disk | Single-server node | ✅ |
| Azure external object storage | Azure | Single-server node | ✅ |
| Azure external object storage | Azure | Multi-server node | ✅ |
| AWS S3 external object storage | AWS S3 | Single-server node | ✅ |
| AWS S3 external object storage | AWS S3 | Multi-server node | ✅ |
