Restoring a backup overwrites the existing Cloudera AI Workbench (from
which the backup was taken from) and automatically imports the restored data. All of the
projects, jobs, applications and so on in the original workbench are recreated in the
new one.
In the Workbench Backups UI, find the workbench to
restore. You can search for the workbench name or CRN. There can be multiple
backups for a given workbench.
Enter the workbench, and manually stop all workloads (sessions, jobs,
applications, and models).
For external NFS backed workbenches, copy the manual backup of
external NFS data (corresponding to this particular backup) to the configured
external NFS export. Ignore this step if the workbench is configured with
internal NFS, as internal NFS data is backed up and restored automatically by
Cloudera AI.
Look for the backup to restore, and click Restore. The
restore process starts, and the workplace states changes to Creating
Workbench.
The restore process can take some time, depending on the amount of data to copy.
When it is complete, you can find the restored workbench in the
Workbenches UI.
Monitoring event logs
You can monitor the progress of the backup process by checking the event logs. In the
Actions menu for the workbench, click View
Event Logs, and then on the Events & Logs
tab, click View Event Logs again for the latest backup event.
When the backup process completes, the workbench enters the installation completed
state again.
If there were issues during backup, appropriate error messages will be displayed in
the event logs. However the workbench will recover from failure and will be reverted
back to the original state when backup was triggered.
