Creating an OpenSearch Cluster Backup

Manually create a backup for an OpenSearch cluster.

Manual backups are on-demand, one-off backups that you can launch immediately by using the steps outlined in this task. Backups created manually are maintained for 14 days, the same amount of time that automatically generated backups are maintained.

    1. Open the navigation menu and click Databases. Under OpenSearch, click Clusters.

    2. Under List scope, select the compartment that contains the cluster.

    3. In the Clusters list, click the name of the cluster that you want to create a backup for.

    4. On the cluster details page, click Create backup.
    5. Select the compartment to create the backup in and enter a name for the backup.

      You can create the backup in a different compartment than the compartment that contains the cluster.

    6. Click Submit.

  • Use the backup command and required parameters to create a backup of a cluster:

    oci opensearch cluster backup --opensearch-cluster-id cluster_ocid [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference.

  • For information about using the API and signing requests, see REST APIs and Security Credentials. For information about SDKs, see Software Development Kits and Command Line Interface.

    Run the BackupOpensearchCluster operation to create a cluster backup.
