Great to know this info, thanks everyone! I am afraid it is not possible to restore backup while ODL is running, correct?
Just one more thing to confirm: In a cluster, it would be enough by backing up one node, while restoring should be done in every node in the cluster, am I right? Thank you very much, Miguel Ángel.

Backup file name doesn't matter. You put the file in that directory and it's read on startup and then deleted. However the journal and snapshots must be empty or else it won't restore.

By looking at the methods offered by the cluster-admin module, what I cannot see is the "restore" method. Can someone tell us where we can find this?

I have not found much information about it in pipermail history except some questions and brief proposals (such as generating an snapshot and storing in a particular file, using an external database,…). I would appreciate if someone familiar with the topic could give us some hints on it: - Is it possible to backup MDSAL Configuration datastore as of today? (I suppose it’s a matter of backing up leveldb files) - If so, how can we guarantee that the backup is correct and/or consistent while it is running traffic and datastore is being modified? - Supposedly there is a working mechanism consisting on: stopping ODL, copying the files manually and start it up… However, it would nice to know if there a more sophisticated mechanism to backup the datastore, especially if it does not imply stopping ODL. E.g. a particular API or tool that can be called to perform this activity? I hope more knowledgeable people will give you a detailed answer, but there is one RPC that allows creating a backup of ODL while it is running: POST /restconf/operations/cluster-admin:backup-datastore Where the message body looks like this: { "input": { "file-path": "/tmp/datastore_backup" } } Since the datastore is transaction based, I assume this will save data up to the last successful transaction, but don't quote me on that. One of the main issues with backup/restore, AFAIK is the possibility that a schema (YANG model) may change between the backup and restore, and how to handle that. -Lori _______________________________________________ controller-dev mailing list controller-dev@lists.opendaylight.org<mailto:controller-dev@lists.opendaylight.org> https://lists.opendaylight.org/mailman/listinfo/controller-dev
