How to restore SolusIO VPS from backup on another Compute Resource

Answer

This functionality is yet to be implemented in SolusIO. There is a request for adding such functionality with ID #SIO-3194 which is planned to be implemented in future SolusIO updates.

As a workaround use the following instruction:

1. Connect to SolusIO Management Node via SSH
2. Backup SolusIO database
3. Access SolusIO database with the command:

   # docker exec -it $(docker ps -q -f name=solus_postgres | head -n1) psql -U$(docker exec $(docker ps -q -f name=solus_postgres | head -n1) env | grep POSTGRES_USER | awk -F "=" {'print $2'}) $(docker exec $(docker ps -q -f name=solus_postgres | head -n1) env | grep POSTGRES_DB | awk -F "=" {'print $2'})

4. Change the CR of the corresponding VPS:

   MYSQL_LIN: UPDATE compute_resource_vms SET compute_resource_id=CRID WHERE id=VPSID;

   CRID is a new CR's ID. You can find it at SolusIO > Compute Resources(ID column)
   VPSID is a Virtual Server ID. You can find it at SolusIO > Virtual Servers(ID column)

5. Login to SolusIO admin panel
6. Browse to SolusIO > Virtual Servers > VPS > Reinstall and reinstall the VPS with any OS
   
   
7. Browse to SolusIO > Virtual Servers > VPS > Backups and click Restore icon
