Approaches for backup and restoration of integrated databases

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform:
• determining a user request to perform a backup of data associated with an application, the application being provided through one or more computing systems, the user request specifying a unique identifier for the backup and an identifier corresponding to the application;
• determining information for performing the backup of the data associated with the application based at least in part on the identifier corresponding to the application, the information specifying at least an endpoint to which the data associated with the application is to be backed up and a backup order associated with the application, wherein the backup order is indicative of an order in which the data associated with the application is to be backed up;
• performing the backup of the data associated with the application, wherein the data is backed up at the endpoint in the backup order, and wherein performing the backup comprises:
• determining that the data associated with the application is stored among a first cluster of nodes corresponding to a backed-up stack of the data associated with the application;
• determining topology information that describes an arrangement of the first cluster of nodes;
• generating a backup of the data associated with the application from the first cluster of nodes;
• and
• storing the topology information with the backup of the data, wherein the topology information is able to be used to restore the data to any cluster of nodes that matches the arrangement of the first cluster of nodes,
• wherein generating the backup of the data associated with the application comprises:
• determining a database associated with the application;
• generating a backup of at least one index corresponding to the database, wherein the at least one index is stored in a separate data store that is external to the database;
• and
• after backup of the at least one index is complete, generating a backup of the database,
• wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the system to perform:
• performing a restoration of the backup of the data associated with the application, wherein performing the restoration comprises utilizing the topology information to map the first cluster of nodes corresponding to the backed-up stack to a second cluster of nodes of a restored-into stack, and wherein performing the restoration comprises performing a restoration of the database;
• and
• during restoration of the database, determining that data was added to the database after completion of the backup of the at least one index and performing an incremental re-index to update the at least one index to reference the data added to the database after completion of the backup of the at least one index.
