    Introduction

    What is the Alma Local Backup service?

    *test* Alma Local Backup is a new premium service that provides your institution with a copy of your core Alma production data, enabling you to to load this data into one of your institution’s local, on-premises Oracle databases. The data included in the Alma Local Backup represents the key data elements managed in Alma. The local backup data is provided securely by Ex Libris on a secure FTP location provided by your institution.

    When a subscription for the Alma Local Backup service is purchased:

    1. Up to once a calendar quarter following go-live with Alma, the customer may request (using the Ex Libris customer support portal) to receive a copy of the institution's local backup data.
    2. Within thirty (30) days of receiving such a request, Ex Libris will create a copy of the backup data and transfer the backup data to the customer.
    3. The transfer will be made by secure FTP to a storage location designated by the customer (the customer will need to provide the secure FTP connection details). For data privacy protection, the FTP location should be located in the same country as the customer's principal site.
    4. To avoid doubt, Ex Libris shall have no responsibility for any issues regarding the privacy, loss, or corruption of the copy of the backup data (i) after it has been successfully transferred to the designated storage location or (ii) if, contrary to the stipulation above, the storage location is not in the same country as the customer's principal site.
    5. The customer is responsible for meeting the technical prerequisites of the Alma Local Backup service set forth in this documentation.

    Why is Ex Libris offering this premium service?

    We are offering this premium service in response to requests from customers over the past few years. While there may be a number of different reasons for this request, the main reason voiced by customers is to have an "insurance policy" as they move to a cloud-based SaaS system.

    The Alma Local Backup service is not…

    Customers are free to use the data from the Alma Local Backup for different purposes, but as the refresh frequency is up to once a quarter, the Alma Local Backup service is not intended to replace any of Alma’s data export/publishing capabilities. Customers who need to export/publish data to different external systems (national catalogs, resource sharing systems, institutional data warehouses, and so forth) should continue to use the wide variety of export and publishing capabilities that are an integral part of Alma (such as export tools in functional areas, batch publishing/export, Analytics export, and data retrieval using APIs). 

    Is this an annual subscription, or does the customer need to commit to a number of years?

    Similar to the premium sandbox service, the Alma Local Backup service requires an annual subscription. Customers are not required to commit to multiple years of subscription.

    Why is this a premium service and not a standard part of each customer's subscription?

    As part of the service, our Cloud Operations group must perform an export of a "single tenant's" data from our multi-tenant environment (our backups are "multi-tenant" by nature). This complex process is labor-intensive and creates additional cloud operational costs. As such, it can be provided only as a premium service.

    How will customers get a copy of their data?

    The local backup data file will be provided securely by Ex Libris at an SFTP drop-point, using credentials provided by the institution.

    What is required from the customer in order to use the local backup copy?

    The customer must have a local SFTP location (Ex Libris will upload the backup file to this location) and a local/on-premises Oracle database (release 11 or 12) so that they can locally load/restore the backup file to the local Oracle database.

    What data is included in the Alma Local Backup, and in what format?

    The data included in the Alma Local Backup includes all of the institution’s core data and represents the key data elements managed in Alma. Certain data related to transient events and caches, configuration, and encrypted personal data elements are not included in the Alma Local Backup. The data is provided as an Oracle database "dump file" (.dmp file) which is commonly used for data export from Oracle databases. The table below represents a high-level list of the data elements. More detailed information can be found below in the Alma Table/Field Definitions section below.
    Area Data Elements
    Resource Management
    Bibliographic and inventory: physical, electronic and digital (holdings, items, e-collections, portfolios, digital representations and files)
    Acquisitions and ERM
    Funds, vendors, orders, invoices, licenses
    Fulfillment
    Loans, requests and user fines/fees, resource sharing partners, courses and reading lists
    General and Usage
    Loan and request history, acquisitions history, counter e-usage data, libraries, locations

    Preparatory Steps

    Perform the following preparatory steps on your local on-premises Oracle database before you load the backup files Ex Libris provides. After your Oracle database is ready and configured, use Oracle’s data pump import commands to load your institution’s local backup data. The instructions for the setup and import of the local backup data, as well as an overview of the data elements included, are provided by Ex Libris.
    1. If you do not already have Oracle version 11 or 12 installed, perform the following steps:
      1. Download and install Oracle version 11 or 12 on an Oracle-supported operating system (for the purpose of this guide, a Linux-based operating system is presumed) from the following Oracle site: https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Qui...m?type=nonapps.  (Note that instructions are available for the installation of Oracle 12 on the following site: https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/LTDQI/toc.htm)

        Oracle Updates
      2. Select Oracle Database on Linux x86-64 platform and Oracle version 11 or 12.
        oracle_version.png
        Oracle Version
    2. Create Oracle user EXL_ADMIN with a secure password of your choice (change <password> to your password):
      CREATE USER EXL_ADMIN
      IDENTIFIED BY <password>
      DEFAULT TABLESPACE USERS
      TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP
      ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
    3. Grant roles for EXL_ADMIN:
      > GRANT DATAPUMP_EXP_FULL_DATABASE TO EXL_ADMIN;
      > GRANT DATAPUMP_IMP_FULL_DATABASE TO EXL_ADMIN;
    4. Set up Oracle import permissions from a directory named import_alma_backup to be used for importing Oracle local backup data:
      > create directory EXP_DIR as '/import_alma_backup';
      > grant read,write on directory EXP_DIR to EXL_ADMIN;
      IF you are a consortium and have purchased Alma Local Backup for more than one Alma institution, repeat steps 2-4 and change EXL_ADMIN to EXL_ADMIN_1, EXL_ADMIN_2, EXL_ADMIN_n…, for each subsequent unique Alma institution.
    5. Create a mount point or a directory /import_alma_backup on your file system with the same name as was set in step 4. Ensure that your Oracle user has access to this directory.
    6. Ensure that you have a secure FTP location and credentials at your institution that:
    7. Ensure that there is enough disk space to handle the transfer and load of your local backup. Local backup files are provided in a 90% compressed .zip and are expected to be 7G/M bibliographic records on your institution's secure FTP location after they are downloaded to /import_alma_backup.
      • Untar/Unzip the local backup files: ~70G/M bibliographic records on /import_alma_backup
      • Load the local backup files to your database: ~70G/M bib records
      Total: ~150G disk/M bib records required for download/import process per Alma institution. Half of the needed storage can be temporarily allocated on the secure FTP and on /import_alma_backup and removed after successfully importing to your local on-premises Oracle database.
    As noted previously, when you are ready to request a local backup (up to once/quarter, when purchased), contact Ex Libris using the CRM system, indicating your institution’s name, Alma domain, and your secure FTP access credentials. Allow up to 30 days for provision of local backup data.

    Import Local Backup Data

    Perform the following steps to import local backup data:
    1. After you receive the Ex Libris notification that the local backup has been completed, download your institution’s local backup files (which contain Oracle .dmp files) from your secure FTP location that you provided to the filesystem directory /import_alma_backup (that you created in the previous section).
    2. Unzip/Untar the files provided in the /import_alma_backup directory
      >tar –zxvf local_backup_<customer_id>_<institution_id>.tar.gz
    3. Import all .dmp files into your newly created database (where <customer_id> and <institution_id> are the IDs in your institution's Ex Libris provided local backup files and ensure that all .dmp files provided (01, 02, 03, etc.) are listed).
      The <Letter for your instance> is based on the region in which your Alma resides:
      • NA and AP: U
      • EU: P
