Backup keeps deleting my restore file

Post by rferebee »

Good morning,

We have three instances of XI running in our environment.

Production - Failover Backup - Test

Everyday our Production server writes a backup of itself to our Failover Backup server. For some reason recently, the failover_restore cron job has begun deleting the restore file from the Failover Backup server and as a result the server cannot restore itself with the most up to date information from Production.

This happened once a few weeks ago and I thought I fixed it by just manually copying over a backup file to the Failover Backup server, but now it's deleting the file everyday.

I realize this is a custom configuration, but I'm not super familiar with Linux and I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

Thank you.

Hi, @rferebee. Can you upload the failover_restore cron definition and the script that it's executing in this thread?

I think it might be a DB issue. Stand by and I'll update you tomorrow after the restore task has a chance to run.

I think I figured out what was happening. This can be closed. Thank you.
