Restore a Completed Snapshot using HTTP
¶
To restore a snapshot using HTTP, the Backup Daemon creates and displays a download link in Ops Manager to the appropriate snapshot in snapshot storage.
After clicking the download link, Ops Manager streams the snapshot to the target snapshot host.
- The user selects a snapshot:
- Through the Ops Manager application:
- Click on a snapshot.
- Submit their request.
- Through the API:
- Find the cluster to restore.
- Create new Restore Job for that cluster.
- Through the Ops Manager application:
- Ops Manager creates a RestoreJob document.
- The Backup Daemon service picks up the RestoreJob document and sets the status of this RestoreJob document to Waiting for Customer….
- With the status set to Waiting for Customer…, Ops Manager creates a URL.
- The user clicks the get link link, then Download in the Ops Manager application to download the snapshot.
- Ops Manager sets the RestoreJob document status to
Transferring… and starts streaming the snapshot
in the requested format from the Snapshot Store to the target
snapshot host. Each Snapshot Store streams its snapshot components
through Ops Manager:
- A Blockstore streams Blocks.
- A S3 Snapshot Store streams the Blocks.
- A File System Store streams the Files.
