Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Section Number and Name: 
18.1

Describe the issue: 
Step 1 warns that enough space must be available for the backup. But it fails to specify where. Also, is kattelo-backup able to specify a target location? Where is the online backup option? How to backup a capsule? Is it needed?

Suggestions for improvement: 
Describe the missing pieces

Additional information: 
Given the time a full backup takes, customer could opt for doing a online backup of the DB's and snapshot the filesystem for the pulp content (if the OS or hypervisor supports it).

Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.

So the docs say:


 Run the backup script:

# /usr/bin/katello-backup


However this is incorrect, it should be:

 Run the backup script:

# /usr/bin/katello-backup /path/to/backup/location

where /path/to/backup/location is a valid path and has enough space.
