Backup Procedure

The backup procedure for Hosted Wallet OnPremises (HWOP) ensures reliable preservation of critical data and allows for quick recovery in case of data loss, corruption, or system failures.

Script Usage Instructions

Environment Variables

The backup script uses several environment variables which must be defined in a .env file located in the backup directory.

Variable	Meaning
DB_CONTAINER_BACKEND	Name of the Docker container running the backend database.
DB_USER_BACKEND	Username for the backend database.
DB_NAME_BACKEND	Name of the backend database.
DB_CONTAINER_KEYCLOAK	Name of the Docker container running the Keycloak database.
DB_USER_KEYCLOAK	Username for the Keycloak database.
DB_NAME_KEYCLOAK	Name of the Keycloak database.
BACKUP_DIR	Directory where backups will be stored. By default, it uses the current user's home directory.
HWP_DIR	Directory where the Hosted Wallet OnPremises infrastructure is located.
BACKUP_RETENTION_DAYS	Number of days to retain backup files before they are deleted.

Running the Script

1. Navigate to the directory where backup_script.sh is located:

cd /path/to/infrastructure/backup_script/

Replace /path/to/infrastructure/ with the path where your Hosted Wallet OnPremises is located
2. Make the script executable:

chmod +x backup_script.sh

3. To run the script manually:

./backup_script.sh

4. To schedule the script with a cron job:
• Open the crontab editor:
  

  crontab -e

• Add a new cron job:
  

  0 9 * * * /path/to/backup_script/backup_script.sh > /path/to/backup_script/log/script.log 2>/path/to/backup_script/log/script_error.log

  The cron job above schedules the execution of the backup script everyday at 9.00 am and manages its output and error logs. Update it according to your environment
5. Ensure to transfer the timestamped backup file from the server to a secure location after each backup.
