Restore the database from a manual backup or automated
backup back up in Cortex XSOAR.
Cortex XSOAR automatically backs up the database.
If the database becomes corrupted or you need to revert to an earlier
version of your data, you can restore a database backup.
In
Cortex XSOAR v6.1 and later, any XSOAR service that uses the Elasticsearch
database no longer runs automatic backups. To back up or restore the
contents of your Elasticsearch database, follow the instructions
for Disaster Recovery for Elasticsearch.
Log out all users from Cortex XSOAR.
Stop the service.
sudo service demisto stop
Delete the contents of the database directory.
By default, the database directory is
/var/lib/demisto/data
.
Copy the backup file to the database location.
Extract the
.gzip
backup file
using
tar -xzf
<file-name>
.
When you run the command, new sub-folders are created (where
you ran the command) with the
db
files inside.
If you use the default path, the files are in the
var
folder.
For example, the following files are generated:
root@myhost:/var/lib/demisto/backup# tar -xzf daily_29_Jun_2021__0738.tar.gz
root@myhost:/var/lib/demisto/backup# cd var/lib/demisto/backup/daily_29_Jun_2021__0738
root@myhost:/var/lib/demisto/backup/var/lib/demisto/backup/daily_29_Jun_2021__0738# ls
demisto.db demisto_062021.db
(
Automatic Backup
) Move the
demisto_XXXXX.db
files
to the
partitionsData
folder.
Keep the
demisto.db
file in the
/data
parent
folder.
If you backup manually, you do not need to move the
files, as the required
_XXXXX.db
files are
already in the
partitionsData
folder.
The following directories need to be restored manually:
