    Hello Delphix Community,

     

    We're presently leveraging the Delphix Continuous Compliance Engine and Continuous Data Engine within our infrastructure.

     

    Our environment utilizes Vmware and Commvault for backup operations. However, due to Delphix's requirement for independent persistent disks, traditional backup and restore procedures through Commvault are not suitable.

     

    I'm curious to learn how fellow community members handle the backup and recovery processes for their Delphix appliances?

     

    As of now, we are following the guidelines provided in this link for backup and restoration of metadata automatically (trying to drive it all via Ansible Tower now): https://github.com/delphix/dxtoolkit/wiki/Backup-and-Restore-of-metadata-automatically

     

    I'd appreciate it if you could share your experience regarding the maintenance of this setup, specifically how you conduct your restore testing.

     

    Is there any alternative method or additional steps that you've adopted for your backup and restore processes? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
