🗂️ Opensolr Automated Backups: Peace of Mind on Autopilot

Never lose a byte! Opensolr's backup manager keeps your data safe, secure, and easy to restore—because we know that “oops” moments happen.


🚀 How to Create & Manage Backups

  1. Create a New Backup

    • You can do this from your Opensolr Control Panel UI, or programmatically via the Automation REST API.
    • Backup Manager Screenshot
  2. Enable Daily Backups (NOT enabled by default!)

    • To enable Daily Backups, you can use the Backup API to create a cron job.

    • For best practice, we recommend:

      • Using a Production Opensolr Account for your live indexes (where you require backup management).
      • Using a secondary Dev Account for your dev/test/QA/UAT environments.
      • And of course, harnessing Team Management to connect your dev and prod teams as needed.
  3. Restore with Confidence

    • Whether it’s your configuration files or a full index restore, it’s just a click away.
    • Please note that it may take a long time to restore backups for large Solr indexes.
  4. Know Your Retention Window

    • All backup data is kept on our servers for 7 days. Need it longer? Download what you need, when you need it.
  5. Full Control, Your Way

    • You can always opt in (or out!) of the Opensolr Backup Manager on the pricing page.
    • Fully customize your order for the perfect fit—no extra baggage.
