Backup and restoration of the DevOps Test Hub data
You must back up HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) data before you uninstall the current version of Test Hub or upgrade to the latest version. You must back up the data to avoid data loss or inaccessibility of data.
A backup is the process of creating a copy of the data on your system and storing it elsewhere, generally on secondary storage. You can then use that copy to recover if your original data is lost or becomes inaccessible.
A restore is a process of copying the backed-up data from the secondary storage and restoring it to the original location. You can restore the backed-up data when your original data is lost or becomes inaccessible.
You must back up and restore the data when you perform the following tasks:
-
Move the existing environment to a new system.
-
Change the name of the release or namespace that you used during the installation of Test Hub.
-
Minimize the downtime of Test Hub during disaster recovery.
-
Upgrade to the latest version of Test Hub.
