| 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? |
I like this one.
oc rsh <POD> mysqldump/pg_dump/... > backup_file
Some user use Filesytem back, as you have mentioned
I have seen somewhere out a concept with a sidecar container but I can't find it now
What I have seen in the past is not the backup the problem, the restore is the difficult part.
I have once needed to restore a db (postgresql) and it was not that easy and not automatically!
