Recover PROD to STAGING using .cbk

#Backup #System Administration #InterSystems IRIS for Health

I have two instances of IRIS, one is Production and another one is Staging (both managed by Docker) and I want to set up a full daily recover of the Staging server from a full backup of the Production server. I know how to do this manually using the DBREST utility, as well as how to make a copy of the database by making a full copy of the durable directory (however this option requires a full stop of the Production-database). What is the best way to automatically restore all databases from a full backup using scripting?

To set up a full daily recovery of the Staging server from a full backup of the Production server using scripting, you can use the unattended restore routine provided by InterSystems. This involves using the ^DBREST utility for non-interactive execution. You can write a script to implement unattended restores by calling one of the external entry points:

  1. EXTALL^DBREST - Restores all databases from the backup device.
  2. EXTSELCT^DBREST - Restores selected files from the backup device or restores to a target directory that is different from the source directory.

For detailed steps and examples on how to use these entry points, refer to the documentation on unattended restore using ^DBREST [1].
