🗂️ 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
  2. You can do this from your Opensolr Control Panel UI, or programmatically via the Automation REST API.
  3. Backup Manager Screenshot

  4. Enable Daily Backups (NOT enabled by default!)

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

  6. 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.
  7. Restore with Confidence

  8. Whether it’s your configuration files or a full index restore, it’s just a click away.
  9. Please note that it may take a long time to restore backups for large Solr indexes.

  10. Know Your Retention Window

  11. All backup data is kept on our servers for 7 days. Need it longer? Download what you need, when you need it.

  12. Full Control, Your Way

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