Back Up External Database
If the objects database is deployed on an external node, Axon automatically backs up the PostgreSQL database according to the predefined schedule. The backup scheduler keeps the last 10 backups at the following location: <external_directory_PostgreSQL_path>/db_backup/postgres_backup
If Axon is installed in HTTPS protocol, the Axon application communicates with the external database node using SSL authentication.
To back up the external database manually, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the external node, and go to the directory where the PostgreSQL database is deployed.
2. Run the following command to back up the database:
sh axon_db_backup_external.sh
3. Go to the <external_directory_PostgreSQL_path>/db_backup directory to verify that the database backup file has been created.
