SODa SCS Snapshots

Snapshots are point-in-time backups of applications and their data. The Snapshots administration area allows you to manage backup and restore operations across the entire platform.

What You Can Do

  • View all snapshots created across the system
  • Create manual snapshots of any application
  • Schedule automatic snapshot creation
  • Restore applications to previous states
  • Delete old or unnecessary snapshots to free storage
  • Export snapshots for archival or migration purposes

Managing Snapshots

To manage snapshots:

  1. Navigate to Administration → SODa SCS Snapshots
  2. Browse all available snapshots organized by application
  3. Filter by date, application type, or owner
  4. Click "Create Snapshot" to back up an application
  5. Select "Restore" to revert an application to a snapshot state
  6. Use "Delete" to remove outdated snapshots

Snapshot Best Practices

  • Regular backups: Create snapshots before major changes or updates
  • Retention policy: Define how long to keep snapshots
  • Test restores: Periodically verify that snapshots can be restored successfully
  • Document snapshots: Add notes about what each snapshot contains
  • Storage management: Clean up old snapshots to conserve resources
