Local custom S3 backup/restore
Perform a full system backup/restore for easier migration, securely stored on your own custom S3 deployment (MinIO or others), which might provide local, on-premise options.
This migration solution requires the setup of an AWS S3 API (v4) compatible storage location. MINIO is a natively supported option.
Note
Setup of these storages is out of TrendMiner scope
This migration solution is available as of the 2024.R2.1 release. In case the remote backup/restore using Azure Blob Storage or AWS S3 is not a viable option for you we recommend using one of the local custom S3 backup/restore migration solutions:
Configuring your Minio S3 solution in Edge Manager
you have a running Minio installation that can be used for backup of your TrendMiner installation.
you have the following credentials information to configure TrendMiner Backup provider with the proper permissions.

Tip
In case something is going wrong (Status stays on Unavailable), these are some tips you can try to fix
make sure the date and time are correct on the server. Also NTP server need to be in place. Not setting it, will result in authentication failure for the backend tooling used to setup the remote storage
Doublecheck all parameters provided.
Validate you can properly communicate to Minio S3 from the TrendMiner Host.
In case all parameters are properly set, and it still doesn't work, please try to use a S3 client (E.g. FilezillePro https://filezillapro.com/) that you can run on your Laptop/Desktop to try to access the Storage Account, to fully validate the parameters.
In case all above is not helping, please contact TrendMiner Support.
