Node Backup/Restore

1. Access Backup Functionality

   Users can manage backups for their nodes by navigating to the specific node’s backup page at nodes/{nodeId}/backup.

2. Create a Backup

   • If no backup has been previously created, the page will display a “Create Backup” button in the “Backup Node” section.
   • To initiate the backup process, the user clicks the “Create Backup” button.
   • Clicking the button triggers an AWS Lambda function that communicates with the RGB node’s /backup API endpoint to start the backup process on the node.
   • Once the backup is successfully created, it is automatically uploaded to an Amazon S3 bucket. The bucket is structured to organize backups based on userId and nodeId, ensuring backups are easy to manage and retrieve.
3. Download

   A pre-signed URL is generated and provided to the user. This URL allows the user to download the backup directly from the S3 bucket. For security purposes, the URL is time-limited and expires 30 minutes after being issued.

Node Restore

1. Access Restore Functionality

   Users can manage backups for their nodes by navigating to the specific node’s backup page and find the “Restore node” section at nodes/{nodeId}/backup.

2. Uploading the Backup File

   • Click “Upload” this button will generate an S3 upload URL.
   • Once the S3 upload URL is generated, users are prompted to select the backup file from their local device.
   • After selecting the file, the upload begins automatically, securely transferring the backup file to the designated S3 bucket.
3. Restoring Node

   • After the upload is successfully completed, a “Restore” button becomes active on the interface.
   • Users click the “Restore” button to start the restoration process. It triggers the node’s /restore API.
   • The /restore API facilitates the restoration by taking the backup data from S3 and applying it to the node.
