Linux-based Integration Server. Working with a backup copy

Create a backup copy of the database and the Integration Server settings

You can manually save a backup copy of the Linux-based Integration Server database and settings.

An account with root account privileges is required to complete the procedure.

To save a backup copy of the database and Integration Server settings:

1. Stop the Integration Server (viis service):

   sudo systemctl stop viis

2. Create a directory outside the directories used by the Integration Server, preferably in the user directory: /home/{username}. For example, create the /home/root/viis_backup directory:

   sudo mkdir /home/root/viis_backup

3. Ensure that the backup directory is secure. For example, restrict other users' access to this directory:

   sudo chmod 600 /home/root/viis_backup

4. Copy the following Integration Server data to the created directory:
   • data from /var/opt/kaspersky/viis/common:

     sudo cp -pr /var/opt/kaspersky/viis/common /home/root/viis_backup

   • file with machine-id:

     sudo find /home/viis/ -name machine-id-* -exec cp -p {} /home/root/viis_backup \;

5. Restart the Integration Server (viis service):

   sudo systemctl start viis

Restoring data from a backup copy of the Integration Server database and settings

An account with root account privileges is required to complete the procedure.

If errors occur in the operation of the Integration Server after an update, you can use the backup copy of the database and settings to restore the previous version of the Integration Server and the saved data.

To revert to the previous version of the Linux-based Integration Server:

1. If you moved the backup copy of the Integration Server database and settings to another device or archived it, assign the viis account as the owner of the files in the backup copy:

   sudo chown -R viis:viis /home/root/viis_backup/*

2. Remove the previously installed Linux-based Integration Server.
3. Perform the installation and initial configuration of the Linux-based Integration Server. Make sure that the Integration Server is started and ready to work.
4. Stop the Integration Server (viis service):

   sudo systemctl stop viis

5. Delete the current Integration Server data:

   sudo rm -rf /var/opt/kaspersky/viis/common

6. Restoring Integration Server data from a backup copy:

   sudo cp -pr /home/root/viis_backup/common /var/opt/kaspersky/viis/

7. Delete the existing machine-id file:

   sudo find /home/viis/ -name machine-id-* -exec rm {} \;

8. Restore the machine-id file from the backup copy:

   sudo find /home/root/viis_backup -name machine-id-* -exec cp -p {} /home/viis \;

9. Restart the Integration Server (viis service):

   sudo systemctl start viis

If all of these operations succeeded, the directory with the backup copy of the Integration Server can be deleted:

sudo rm -rf /home/root/viis_backup
