# Configuring Backup and Restore for Anypoint Platform PCE

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition (Anypoint Platform PCE) requires you to install, configure,
and manage an NFS server, ensuring frequent backups are configured and performed.

To preserve your data:

- Enable automatic backups to protect against system failures or operational issues.

- Schedule backups at least daily, or more frequently based on your needs.

- Store backups externally, outside the Anypoint Platform cluster.

The backup and restore process is controlled via Anypoint Platform PCE APIs.

## Create a Backup

To create a backup, run the following command:

`curl -k <platform-dns>/platform/backup-X POST -H 'Authorization: Bearer ${token}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"backup-file-name": "${backupFileName}.tar.gz", "nfs-server": "${fileSystemDns}", "nfs-path": "/"}'`

### Backup Content

\*Anypoint Platform PCE has information only about runtimes, such as their names and status.

## Perform a System Restore

Consider the following before you perform a system restore:

- Before running a restore, configure certain settings, such as NFS, certificates, and DNS because
  they are not included in the backup.

- Backups cannot be transferred between different versions of Anypoint Platform PCE; therefore, your
  new installation must match the version of your backup.

To perform the restore, run the following command:

`curl -k <platform-dns>/platform/restore-X POST -H 'Authorization: Bearer ${token}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"backup-file-name": "${backupFileName}.tar.gz", "nfs-server": "${fileSystemDns}", "nfs-path": "/"}`

The backup file is stored on the NFS storage.

## Create an InfluxDB Backup

To create an InfluxDB backup, run the this command:

`curl -k <platform-dns>/platform/amv/backup-X POST -H 'Authorization: Bearer ${token}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"backup-file-name": "${backupFileName}.tar.gz", "nfs-server": "${fileSystemDns}", "nfs-path": "/"}'`

## Perform an InfluxDB Restore

To perform an InfluxDB restore, run this command:

`curl -k <platform-dns>/platform/amv/restore-X POST -H 'Authorization: Bearer ${token}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"backup-file-name": "${backupFileName}.tar.gz", "nfs-server": "${fileSystemDns}", "nfs-path": "/"}'`

The backup file is stored on the NFS storage.
