Satellite 6.2 introduced incremental backup, there is no documentation in Satellite:

https://theforeman.org/plugins/katello/3.2/user_guide/backup/

Make sure the documentation includes fully working example of incremental setup.

Hello


In the Server Admin Guide, in the "Backup and Disaster Recovery" chapter[1], there is a procedure "o Perform an Incremental Backup".


Have you tried that?





[1] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.2/html/server_administration_guide/chap-red_hat_satellite-server_administration_guide-backup_and_disaster_recovery

Yeah sorry for bad description, I would like you to add an example there.

https://github.com/theforeman/theforeman.org/pull/863/files

Also there is no word about backing up Capsule, can you add that topic as well? My recommendation would be simply not to setup any backup, the suggested way is to do VM snapshots on a weekly basis. In case of lost MongoDB database or Pulp content, stop MongoDB/Pulp services, delete /var/lib/pulp and /var/lib/mongodb and restart. Then resynchronize whole content using Infrastructure - Capsule - Synchronize button in Satellite.

Good catch, thanks! This was indeed my problem.

Hello


These changes are now live on the customer portal.
