Qlik Replicate Backup and Restore

We have some questions regarding backup and restore method for Qlik Replicate Server and Tasks.

1. We would like to know if there is a way to  attain infrastructure as Code (IaC) implementation for a Qlik Replicate Task Configuration? Alternatively, what are the available tools that can provide  a similar a solution ?

2. For a full server backup and restore, what are the best practices and method you can suggest for Qlik Replicate server hosted on a Virtual Machine ?

3.  Can a Qlik Replicate task manage and track the data offset it has last read from and processed (e.g. Oracle redo log , or  Kafka Topic) such that when a Qlik Replicate Server or task is restored from backup , it would be capable to resume the process based from the last data offset that was processed ?

@estore,

 

We have some questions regarding backup and restore method for Qlik Replicate Server and Tasks.

1. We would like to know if there is a way to  attain infrastructure as Code (IaC) implementation for a Qlik Replicate Task Configuration? Alternatively, what are the available tools that can provide  a similar a solution ?

 

Ans: not sure IaC, but for task creation, you would have to create task from UI or export existing task , modify and import.

2. For a full server backup and restore, what are the best practices and method you can suggest for Qlik Replicate server hosted on a Virtual Machine ?

 

Ans: you can do a backup of the ~\data folder, this content all of current tasks and configuration of your Replicate server.

 

3.  Can a Qlik Replicate task manage and track the data offset it has last read from and processed (e.g. Oracle redo log , or  Kafka Topic) such that when a Qlik Replicate Server or task is restored from backup , it would be capable to resume the process based from the last data offset that was processed ?

 

Ans: if task was running and then stop and resume than, task will just pickup where it was stop.

if new task then you can resume from timestamp of the previous task stop from final save timestamp.

 

 

hope that help.
