Guidelines on backing up and restoring an Active/Passive deployment

Note: For detailed instructions on how to back up and restore Automation Suite, see Backing up and restoring the cluster.

You must back up only the primary cluster and external storage (SQL and Objectstore).
It is not mandatory to take a backup of the secondary cluster. Instead, you can choose to take a backup of the secondary. However, you can still use the primary cluster to set up the secondary cluster.

If the primary cluster goes down, you must use the backup to restore it.
If configuration changes were made on the secondary cluster while the primary cluster was down, follow these steps to ensure the restored primary reflects the latest configuration:
- Merge configurations from the primary and secondary clusters to create an updated input.json that includes all changes made on the secondary after the primary went down.
- Apply any required updates to parameters that are specific to the primary cluster.
- Restore the primary cluster using the merged input.json file.

If the secondary cluster’s backup is unavailable, you can restore it from the primary cluster by taking the following steps:
1. Generate the input.json from the primary cluster.
2. Update the input.json with the specific value of the secondary cluster.
3. Install the secondary cluster.
If the backup for the secondary cluster is available, you can restore the secondary cluster from the backup.
