Hi,

We recently set up an OpenShift Enterprise cloud and we're wondering what
the best practices are for backing up databases running in an OpenShift
cloud. I will focus on PostgreSQL here, but the same goes for MongoDB,
MariaDB...

- Should we rely on backups of the persistent volumes (we're using NFS)?
This would mean assuming the on-disk state is always recoverable. Which it
*should* be, but it does feel like a hack...
- Should we have an admin-level oc script that filters out all running
database containers and does some 'oc exec pg_dump ... > backup.sql' magic
on them?
- Should we provide some simple templates to our users that contain nothing
but a cron script that calls pg_dump?
...

Please share your solutions?

Kind Regards,


Jens
