Backups

Backups are the database native backups. Tessell supports to take backups from the exisiting snapshots to avoid the load the source database. Whenever a backup is created from the snapshot, a clone VM is created from the source snapshot and the database native backup utilities are run on the clone VM to take the native backups.

You can search the backups list providing the backup name in the Search bar on the backups tab.

The backups are taken manually currently using the + Create Backup on the backups tab. The Create Backup window pops-up, where you can provide the name of the backup in the Backup Name field. Select the Source Snapshot from the drop-down list from which you want to take the backup. The available snapshots are manual as well as automated snapshots in the list. Select the Create Backup to submit. It runs a workflow at the backend and captures the backup for your database service using the database native backup utilities.
