Backing up our Node

Quickstream Node configuration is saved in the local database. You should perform regular backups of the configuration to another server/location. Qxuickstream Node does not perform any backups on its own. You can perform backups manually or by using automated approach like a bash script.

Important note

The most reliable option is to stop Quickstream Node service and then backup files. This option is preferred when you plan to upgrade your Node. Please refer to managing service documentation. In such case, you will not lose any data but your service will be interrupted.

Linux-based operating systems

You should backup the whole Quickstream Node installation folder which contains configuration, logs, libraries and Node binaries. It is located in /opt/quickstream directory. When you use tar to backup this folder you should use tar --warning='no-file-changed' to ignore changes in logs database. Otherwise, you may lose some log messages.

Windows

Quickstream Node configuration in Windows is located in c:\ProgramData\Quickstream\Quickstream Node folder. Backup this folder and its content. Manually or using for example Powershell script. Binaries are located in c:\Program Files\Quickstream\Quickstream Node directory.
