Backup and Restore

Learn how to create a backup of the data in your on-premises deployment, including the hardware configuration, virtual devices, projects, users, custom firmware, snapshots, and more.

Prepare to Back Up the Data​

Before starting the backup, make sure that all devices are stopped (shut down) and that no users are interacting with the web interface or the API.

The Components to Back Up​

The following components are required for a complete backup:

  • The MariaDB database, using mysqldump
  • The configuration files in /etc/corellium/
  • The image files, referenced by imageDataPath in coordinator.json
  • The firmware files mounted to /var/ipsw/
  • The LVM device volumes listed in lvs -S 'lv_attr !~ ^t' stack-volumes

Restore a Server Backup​

Recover the data that was backed up:

  • The MariaDB database state
  • The configuration files
  • The image files
  • The firmware files
  • The LVM device volumes

Automated Backup Script​

Corellium is in the process of creating a backup script that would safely stop all the devices and back up all the necessary components.
