=== Back Up Your Data!
Always back up your data before performing an upgrade. This will allow you to
roll back in the event of a problem. The upgrades sometimes include upgrades
to the Lucene libraries used by Elasticsearch to access the index files, and
after an index file has been updated to work with a new version of Lucene, it
may not be accessible to the versions of Lucene present in earlier
Elasticsearch releases.
[WARNING]
.Always back up your data before upgrading
=========================================
You cannot roll back to an earlier version unless you have a backup of your data.
=========================================
==== Backing up 1.0 and later
To back up a running 1.0 or later system, it is simplest to use the snapshot
feature. See the complete instructions for
<<modules-snapshots,backup and restore with snapshots>>.
==== Backing up 0.90.x and earlier
To back up a running 0.90.x system:
===== Step 1: Disable index flushing
This will prevent indices from being flushed to disk while the backup is in
process:
[source,js]
-----------------------------------
PUT /_all/_settings
{
"index": {
"translog.disable_flush": "true"
}
}
-----------------------------------
// AUTOSENSE
===== Step 2: Disable reallocation
This will prevent the cluster from moving data files from one node to another
while the backup is in process:
[source,js]
-----------------------------------
PUT /_cluster/settings
{
"transient": {
"cluster.routing.allocation.enable": "none"
}
}
-----------------------------------
// AUTOSENSE
===== Step 3: Backup your data
After reallocation and index flushing are disabled, initiate a backup of
Elasticsearch's data path using your favorite backup method (tar, storage
array snapshots, backup software).
===== Step 4: Reenable allocation and flushing
When the backup is complete and data no longer needs to be read from the
Elasticsearch data path, allocation and index flushing must be re-enabled:
[source,js]
-----------------------------------
PUT /_all/_settings
{
"index": {
"translog.disable_flush": "false"
}
}
PUT /_cluster/settings
{
"transient": {
"cluster.routing.allocation.enable": "all"
}
}
-----------------------------------
// AUTOSENSE
