Backup & Restore

TrackMe automatically performs full backups of all Knowledge Objects and KVstore collections every night. Additional backups are triggered during version upgrades, ensuring you always have a reliable recovery point.

Restore everything at once or surgically target specific elements — a single Virtual Tenant, individual Knowledge Objects, or specific KVstore collections. Mix and match restore options to fit any recovery scenario.

Scope backup and restore operations to specific Virtual Tenants. Restore one tenant without affecting others, making multi-tenant environments safe and manageable during recovery operations.

Export backup archives through the UI or REST API for migration or cloning purposes. Import archives on a target system to replicate an entire TrackMe deployment — configurations, KVstore data, and Knowledge Objects included.

Transparently operates across Search Head Cluster members. TrackMe automatically locates and retrieves backup files from whichever cluster member owns them — no manual file handling required.

Inspect and review backup contents in detail using the built-in trackmecheckbackups SPL command. Verify archive integrity, browse Knowledge Object definitions at any point in time, and review KVstore collection metadata.

Test any restore operation before committing changes. Dry run mode validates the archive, verifies extraction, and reports what would be restored — without modifying a single record.

Each backup captures the full definition of every Knowledge Object — searches, alerts, macros, transforms, and reports. Compare definitions across backups to understand what changed and when.

Fully automate backup, restore, export, and import operations through the TrackMe REST API. Integrate with CI/CD pipelines, disaster recovery workflows, or scheduled migration scripts.
