Enabling backup/restore capability

caution

Backups will only work if you use CSI based volumes. Backups will not work for hostPath volumes.

Backups and restores feature is provided via Velero integration. Both file-based and volume snapshot based backups are supported. Backups and restores are disabled by default. Follow these steps to configure environment and enable backup feature:

  1. Get supported Velero release (follow the steps from the official Velero website)

  2. Install Velero for your infrastructure provider. Make sure to include --use-restic to enable file based backups.

tip

If you're evaluating KuberLogic and do not want to use cloud resources, you can install Velero with local S3 compatible storage: see here

  1. Verify Velero status.
