8 years ago in cfops a tile is something which can be both backed up and restored.
The ops-manager backup will backup the state of a given ops manager. This means run a full export of the ops manager (configs, releases) as well as grab the deployment manifests from the ops manager director.
The elastic-runtime backup will backup the state of a given elastic runtime. This means (consoledb, ccdb, uaadb, mysqldb, nfs)
I hope this offers some clarity. Feel free to chat more with us in the gitter channel if you like.
closing this issue for now.
The way the word "tile" is used in the docs is a bit confusing. If I run "cfops backup -t ops-manager" I would expect to get a backup of the OpsManager Director tile settings, and associated base assets such as stemcells.
-t elastic-runtime would save ER tile settings, databases etc -t rabbitmq would save RabbitMQ tile settings and persistent messages.
etc.
As it is "-t opsmanager" really means "All foundation tiles and their configuration, but not any persistent data", and "-t <tilename>" means "save the persistent data of tile <tilename>".
