Lukas, can you put together a wiki writeup on our public page that Lana can refer to for the official docs?

Sure, but I dont understand what is it all about. We already do have disaster recovery plan (restoring from backup), including MongoDB backup. James, can you please elaborate what is this about?

Lukas, I haven't seen the documentation on recovering MongoDB from backup. I might have missed it. I was looking for something similar to this:

http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.4/html-single/Deployment_Guide/index.html#chap-Getting_Started_Guide-Satellite_Operation_Guidance

http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.0/html-single/Administration_Guide/index.html#Administration_Guide-Backing_Up

In the long run hopefully CloudForms will just create a tool that abstracts the underlying database from the user (for example, `cloudforms-db-tool backup`), but for now just strict guidance on how to backup, recover, and repair the database if there is inconsistency would work. Does that help?

James, we have this:

https://fedorahosted.org/katello/wiki/GuideServerBackups

it is valid for CFSE, it did not make it into the main docs though. I think it should be in the release notes. See bug 787184 and this:

http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/CloudForms/1.0/html/Release_Notes/chap-Release_Notes-BackupRecovery.html

As you can see, it includes full mongo dump.

We also do have an example script for that in the git. I am closing now, feel free to reopen.
