My AWX backup is failing. I am running AWX ver 23.7.0 I have applied my manifest and the job runs until it completes with an error. I don’t understand what the output from the ansible job is telling me. Can anyone assist with troubleshooting? Also see post: Backup Posstgres DB from cluster #1 …

Okay, let me explain… A new PSQL will be created by the restore, and this PSQL should use the /var/lib/postgresql/data of the one of the nodes of the new cluster via PVC. If, you already have previously attempted to deploy AWX on the new cluster, there may still be data created by PSQL from that t…

I was able to clean up the back job. I still don’t see any data being created in the backup folder. Instead I exec’d into the Postgres pod and manually created a backup of the AWX DB. In my new cluster I created an awx restore job. I was able to transfer the .sql file to the new cluster so it is…

The AWXRestore is designed to restore backup files created by the AWXBackup, so it won’t work if there’s only a manually created SQL file. I previously suggested checking the Operator’s logs to identify failing tasks, and I’d recommend doing that again, please take a look at your logs.

I understand your not trying to force me to share logs. My security team was able to get the logs reviewed quicker than expected and I’ll be able to post those here shortly. I still had questions about what I am seeing in the logs and thought it might be best to post them here after getting the “O…

Yes, I have seen and reviewed that thread. It does help a little but I still have some other questions. I guess I’ll just take things one step at a time. I’ll focus on getting the backup to work.

OK, so the backup is good. Now my restore is failing. Here are my .yml files for both the backup and restore: backup: --- apiVersion: awx.ansible.com/v1beta1 kind: AWXBackup metadata: name: awxbackup-09-19-2024 namespace: awx spec: deployment_name: awx backup_pvc: awx-backup clean_back…

In that case, this other thread might be helpful. They were similarly working on migrating AWX from one cluster to another, and that is somewhat documented.
