Backing up Cloudera Data Engineering jobs on remote storage

Before you begin

• Download and configure the CDE CLI.

Steps for backing up on remote storage

1. Run the cde backup create command to create a backup of the jobs in the virtual cluster your CDE CLI is configured to interact with. By default, all job configurations in the cluster are backed up, but the resources are not. You can use command flags to change this behavior as follows:

   --continue-on-error

   If set to true, the archive generation continues even if there are errors for some items. It works only for remote storage.

   --credential-filter

   Selects credentials to be backed up using the fieldname[operator]argument syntax. This command flag can be repeated. The name of the job and resource API field is 'fieldname' and the 'operator is one of the following: 'eq', 'noteq', 'lte', 'lt', 'gte', 'gt', 'in', 'notin', 'like', 'rlike'. You can add multiple filters using and. For example:

   cde backup create --credential-filter "name[noteq]test" --credential-filter "created[gte]2020-01-01"

   --include-active-airflow-pyenv

   If set to true, it backs up the active Airflow Libraries and Operators with the associated credentials and secret. The default value is false.

   --include-credential-secrets

   Backs up credential secrets.

   --include-credentials

   Backs up all virtual cluster credentials. By default, the credential secrets are not included in the backup.

   --include-job-resources

   Backs up all resources associated with the selected jobs. These resources cannot be filtered out by the --resource-filter parameter.

   --include-jobs

   Backs up all jobs in the virtual cluster. This is the default behavior.

   --include-resource-credentials

   Backs up credentials for the resources. You cannot filter out selected credentials using the credentialfilter parameter. This is the default behavior.

   --include-resources

   Backs up all resources in the virtual cluster, including those not associated with jobs.

   --job-filter <filter_string>

   Selects jobs to back up using the fieldname[operator]argument syntax. This command flag can be repeated. The name of the job and resource API field is 'fieldname' and the 'operator is one of the following: 'eq', 'noteq', 'lte', 'lt', 'gte', 'gt', 'in', 'notin', 'like', 'rlike'. You can add multiple filters using and. For example:

   cde backup create --job-filter "name[noteq]test" --job-filter "created[gte]2020-01-01"

   --resource-filter <filter_string>

   Selects resources to back up using the fieldname[operator]argument syntax. This command flag can be repeated. Filter by adding detail to the filter syntax, for example, filter syntax 'fieldname[operator]argument'. The name of the job and resource API field is 'fieldname' and the 'operator is one of the following: 'eq', 'noteq', 'lte', 'lt', 'gte', 'gt', 'in', 'notin', 'like', 'rlike'. You can add multiple filters using and. For example:

   'name[noteq]my-resource','created[gte]2020-01-01'

   --output

   The output in text or JSON format. The default is text format.

   --remote-storage

   Backs up to the remote storage. The default value is false.

   --remote-path

   Use the remote backup file relative path together with the remote-storage parameter. Do not include the filename in the path. The path is relative to /dex/backup/.

   --remote-name

   Use the remote backup file name together with the remote-storage parameter. If the file name is not specified, then a default generated value is used.

   --validate

   After a remote backup archive is created, it validates the archive.

Example for backing up to remote storage all jobs and its related resources, plus all resources whose name contains "data".

cde backup create --remote-storage --include-resources --resource-filter "name[like]%data%"

Example for creating a backup on remote storage:

./cde backup create --remote-storage --remote-path test --remote-name archive.zip

# output 
{"archiveRelativePath":"test/archive.zip","archiveURL":"s3a://dex-dev-default-aws-storage/datalake/logs/dex/backup/test/archive.zip","code":201}
