• Backup of the index against possible loss: Indexing all data takes a long time. Recovering from backup in case of possible loss is necessary for a much more uninterrupted service. Since GEODI can index changing content, the difference between the backup and the current index is completed in a short time. We recommend daily backups. GEODI installation comes ready for daily backup. You just need to activate it.

• If you have created an Active-Passive disaster recovery configuration, it is necessary to have a copy of the index for fast transition. The backup procedure is the same. You can find detailed information on Active-Passive and Active-Active configuration page.

Index Backup

• GEODI index is located under %appdata%\dece\geodi<projeadı>\GeodiIndex2.0. The files in this directory are in constant use and therefore backup should be done with the BackupIndex command.

• BackupIndex securely backs up GEODI while it is running to the directory where you provide the index.

• Notes taken after the last backup and documents added by drag and drop will be lost.

• Backup can be periodized with the Windows scheduled task engine.

• The GeodiWS Project file and other settings should also be synchronized. How to do it is explained in Active-Passive and Active-Active configuration .

• GEODI Commands should be available in files with DCC extension. You can call these DCC files in Batch or PowerShell. Example DCC is given below. The destination directory and WorkdSpace name must be edited appropriately. If there is more than one WorkSpace, it should be done separately for each one.

  • Code Block
    language powershell
    d.BackupIndex("[Destination Directory to Backup]","[WorkSpace name]")

    • In order to backup smoothly on GEODIs with SSL Certificate installed, NoSSLPort:80 and Force HttpsRedirect:true must be added in SystemSettings.Json.

  • You can create a scheduled task with https://forsenergy.com/tr-tr/taskscheduler/html/1a2d9e12-4713-40a9-9c8c-e2ad6316811b.htm or any other method you prefer.

Index Recovery

• GEODI can repair a damaged index or replace it and use it. Repair can take a long time and may fail depending on the damage. If it fails, there is no option but to restart indexing. Therefore, recovery from backup (RestoreBackup) should be the primary choice.

• On the last page of the GEODI Project Wizard, 3 different options are offered from the "Recovery Options" tab in the advanced settings.
