Excluding Files from the Gaia Backup

Backing Up and Restoring the System in Gaia Portal

Backing Up the System in Gaia Clish

Syntax

Important - After you add, configure, or delete features, run the "save config" command to save the settings permanently.

Important:

  • Gaia Clish does not support the change of backup file names. You can change a backup file name in the Expert mode. Make sure not to use special characters.

  • Gaia OS backup on Quantum Maestro Orchestrators does not contain the Maestro configuration files (for example, sgdb.json).

    To back up the Quantum Maestro Orchestrator configuration, use this Gaia Clish command on the Quantum Maestro Orchestrator:

    set maestro export <options>

    For a use case, see sk174202.

Restoring the System in Gaia Clish

Syntax

Note - To restore the Gaia OS configuration quickly after a system failure or migration, use the Gaia Clish "configuration" feature (see Working with System Configuration in Gaia Clish).
