Backup and Restore

Nexus Repository does not support a global read-only mode for PostgreSQL-backed deployments. Normal activity, including some download requests, may update metadata in the database.

Coordinate the PostgreSQL backup with your blob store backup so both can be restored to a consistent point in time.

If you need an online PostgreSQL backup, use PostgreSQL-native backup capabilities such as continuous archiving and point-in-time recovery (PITR). If you require the strongest consistency between the PostgreSQL database and blob stores, stop Nexus Repository during the backup window.

  • Stores the databases to a new location when configured

  • Generates a snapshot of the databases for you to back up

  • Suspends access to the database until the backup is complete

  • Cancel any currently running scheduled tasks

This section shows you how to configure and execute the tasks as well as how to recover the exported database of your Nexus Repository.

See Backup and Restore in Amazon Web Services for further information.
