Backing up infrastructure databases
Below are recommendations for backing up the databases of services within an On-Premise installation.
PostgreSQL
Backup is recommended only for databases that contain unique data, namely for the databases of the following services:
- CityLens
- GIS Platform
- API Keys service
- Urbi Pro
- Restrictions API
The databases of the Catalog APIs service do not require backup. If the data is lost, you can re-import it.
Apache Cassandra
Backup is not required: if the data is lost, you can re-import it from the S3 compatible storage.
Note
Data recovery via import may take a long time. If you need to ensure minimal RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and RTO (Recovery Time Objective) values, it is recommended to perform regular backups of all databases.
