InfraReplica

Backing up network and server configurations, across a fleet of customers.

Getting started

Getting started — Start the platform, create the first account, check that everything answers.

Installing with no Internet access — Deploy from the offline bundle, on a site with no route out.

Customers and isolation — Declare a customer, and understand what separates it from the others.

Agents — Deploy a gateway inside a customer's network and enrol it.

Devices and credentials — Declare devices, attach credentials to them, import a fleet.

Operation

Scheduling and capacity — Choose a frequency, understand the staleness tolerance, estimate the storage.

Backups, artifacts and versions — What a backup produces, and why a version is not always created.

Reading, comparing, restoring — Read a configuration, compare two dates, retrieve a file.

Retries — What happens after a failed backup, and how long before anyone is told.

Device identity — TLS certificates and SSH host keys: postures, approval, replacement.

Retention and erasure — The global → customer → device cascade, the object lock, key destruction.

Reports — The daily report, as a PDF for a customer and as JSON for your own tools.

Search — Find an object from a name, an address or an account.

Administration

Security model — Isolation, roles, encryption, immutability, audit log.

Accounts and identity federation — Local accounts, roles, and connecting to a corporate directory.

Maintenance and diagnosis — What to keep an eye on, and what to do when something goes wrong.

Support exports — Send measurements to a third party without sending the map of the network.

Using the API — Signing in, and the requests that genuinely serve day to day.

Reference

Adding a platform — Write a collector for a device the platform does not know.

Functional requirements — What the platform undertakes to do, requirement by requirement.
