Question:
How can I take my backup server offline for maintenance, and prevent backups and other transactions from failing during the maintenance window?
Environment:
Any OnApp with dedicated backup servers
Answer:
You may use the daemon for background tasks:
- Go to Sysadmin Tools menu.
- Press Stop Daemon button. This will allow any currently running backups and tasks to complete but no new ones will start. At that stage you can proceed with your maintenance.
- Once completed, go back to the Sysadmin Tools menu and click Start Daemon button.
