epoch-archive-testnet

Welcome to the Epoch Archive Backup & Restore guide. This README is designed to provide a comprehensive walkthrough to manage 0l Network node backups and restoration for your system using the provided Makefile.

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have the necessary tools installed, such as the latest
• The Makefile is designed for libra-framework v6.9.x (soon v7) Ensure you are using the correct version.

Getting started

Clone the repo and prepare the binary:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/0LNetworkCommunity/epoch-archive-testnet
cd ~/epoch-archive-testnet
make bins

Restoring to the latest version of the 0L Network public backup

This is most likely all you will need to restore and start/resume syncing:

  cd ~/epoch-archive-testnet
  make restore-all

Here are some other tools you can make use of

1. Wipe Existing Database:

   make wipe-db

2. Restore Genesis Data:

   make restore-genesis

3. Restore to a Specific Version:

   make VERSION_START=[db_starting_transaction] VERSION=[db_target_transaction] restore-latest
   

Creating and Maintaining Backups

1. Prepare Archive Path:

   make prep-archive-path
   

2. Backup Genesis Data:

   make backup-genesis
   

3. Continuous Backup:

   make backup-continuous
   

4. Backup by Epoch:

   make backup-epoch
   

5. Backup State Snapshot:

   make backup-snapshot
   

6. Backup Transactions:

7. Setup Git for Backup:

   make git-setup
   

8. Start Continuous Backup:

   make start-continuous
   

9. Stop Continuous Backup:

   make stop-continuous
   

10. Backup Logging Cleanup:

    make log-cleanup
    

11. Scheduled Tasks: This is what we use to continually provide public backups as they become available:

    make cron
    

Other Commands

• make check: Validates the environment and displays the configuration.
• make wipe-backups: Deletes all backups.
• make git: Commits and pushes the recent backups to the repository.
• make git-sling-recent: Commits and pushes the 20 most recent backups to the repository.
• make git-sling-all: Commits and pushes all backups to the repository in batches.
