Backup using Azure Snapshot

To back up an instance of EJBCA Cloud, you can either use the CLI script included on the instance or create a snapshot in the Azure Portal. This section describes how to back up using an Azure snapshot. For information on how to back up via script, see Backup via CLI Script on Azure.

For additional information, refer to the Microsoft Azure documentation on how to Snapshot a disk.

Backup using Azure Snapshots

To back up the instance by taking a snapshot in the Azure Portal, do the following:

  1. Access the Azure Portal at https://portal.azure.com and click Create a resource.

  2. In the search field, start typing “snapshot”, when "Snapshot" appears as a result, select it.

  3. Click Create.

  4. In Name, enter for example, MyEJBCACloudSnapshot, select a Subscription, Resource Group, Location, Source disk, and associated Account type, and then click Create.

  5. Repeat for all of the disks associated with your instance.

  6. Snapshot creation starts. When the snapshot is accessible, a message is shown that it was successfully created.
