About to migrate a sandbox instance of ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6.1.  It's never been backed up before to my knowledge. Running webgisdr gives the following output: ================================================== Starting the WebGIS DR utility. ================================================== The configuration and base backup time in the current Web GIS -------------------------------------------------------------   Portal: https://web.domain.ca/portal at 11/28/19 10:18 AM   |   |-- Hosting Server: https://web.domain.ca/server at 11/28/19 10:18 AM   |     |   |     |-- Relational Data Store: https://internal-gis.cloud.domain.ca:2443/arcgis Starting the backup process with the WebGIS DR utility.

We're planning on moving from a pilot instance of ArcGIS Enterprise to production. This move will mean a new home for VMs ('Prod' azure subscription), and switching to the corporate URL from a temp self-created url. Our pilot has dozens of users and we don't want to loose content.  Moving the new VMs shouldn't be bad. I expect to follow the backup/restore migration method using webgisdr.  I've been reviewing this post (https://community.esri.com/message/789278-re-changing-arcgis-portal-dns-alias-post-installation- ) and it doesn't sound bad, but I'm interested in finding an official workflow.  An important factor, our pilot has twinned VMs for portal and server, and the server is federated as the hosting server using the web adapter.  So old.domain.com/server.   I'm playing around in a sandbox trying out some approaches I think this will be a hiccup.  Un/Re-federating has been cantankerous for us in the past.  Any advice or references are welcome.  Thanks! ...

A recent bug fix from my team resulted in our hosting server being refederated using the WA url instead of the internal URL that it was previously using.  Now all our hosted features layers give us permission problems.  First, an admin user can still load these hosted layers. Other uses receive the following error, even if the layer is shared to everyone:  error: {code: 403, subcode: 2,…}    code: 403    details: []    message: "User does not have permissions to access 'hosted/some_layer.mapserver'."    subcode: 2 I'm assuming the token still contains the other URL so that the token is invalid on the layer regardless of the layers share status.  Looking for ways to move forward with the current setup,  but considering undoing the federation and returning to the start state.  Just not sure if it'll fix anything.  ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6.1 ...

I'm setting up some backups of a spatiotemporal big data store (v10.6.1) and would like to push them into an azure blob.  I'm reading this doc: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/administer/linux/data-store-utility-reference.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_35FC910709804CC0AA43C44C5B15F810 I'm confused as to what the --location parameters should be.  The example lists --location type=azure; location=mybackups; name=secondrelloc; username=myazureaccountlogin; password=zpw4myazureaccount So if I have a storage account: https://samplesa.file.core.windows.net/ with a container somecontainer, how does that map to what's being asked? For the username and password, what's expected?  I have an account I created all the VMs with (not using that), and I could grant access to some AzureAD account.  I more expected to pass in a key or SAS.  Any advice is appreciated.  ...
