wazuh index backup and restoration

[Noor Fathima]

we have successfully performed wazuh index backup and restoration in a single server for shared file system repository following the document  https://wazuh.com/blog/index-backup-management/ 

now the scenario here is we need to take wazuh index snapshot for example wazuh-alerts-4.x-2023.07.11 from server1 (manager version 4.4.4) and restore it in server2 (manager version 4.4.5) which is a new server where there is no repositories .

Please guide me with the steps/procedure to restore the index snapshot (wazuh-alerts-4.x-2023.07.11) in server2.

Hi @Noor,

Thank you for using Wazuh!

To get your query right, are you looking for a way to restore your indexed alerts after performing a backup on a previous Wazuh version?

If this is the case, then follow these procedures:

1. Follow the guide in this documentation to perform a backup of your Wazuh components, especially your configurations and logs.

2. Once your alerts are backed up, you can follow this blog post that shows how to restore your backed-up Wazuh alerts.

Let me know if you found this helpful
