Disaster recovery

  • Regularly use the /deploy/export end point to export your dynamic configuration; store the export files in a safe place (in a different location than your APIm deployment)
  • Implement a disaster recovery script which does the following things:
    • An initial deployment of the API portal to your desired deployment location
    • Imports the latest backup to the running API Portal using the /deploy/import end point

Make sure you always keep your PORTAL_CONFIG_KEY safe, so that you are able to redeploy and decrypt the backup archives!
