Backup failed

[waclawikj]

When I am creating backup resource i get error:
Transiting from Create to Failed with error: Transiting from Create to Failed: unknown path '/_admin/backup/create'

Isn't this path only for Hot Backups (which comes only in Enterpise Edition, when I am using Community Edition)?

I have the same issue. If this is only in Enterprise Edition, then how can I do backups at k8s cluster in free edition ??

Hello!

Hot Backup is part of Enterprise Edition.

In Community Edition you still can use arangodump - https://www.arangodb.com/docs/stable/programs-arangodump.html - but it is not supported by Operator.

Ok, so can you add information in documentation in Kubernetes section about backups (backup, backup resource etc) mentioning that it works only with Enterprise Edition?

[ajanikow]

Hello!

It is part now of documentation.

Closing issue.

Best Regards,
Adam.

Where exactly do you think you documented this?
This repository's README links to https://www.arangodb.com/docs/stable/deployment-kubernetes.html which doesn't mention it, nor does the documentation for the https://www.arangodb.com/docs/stable/deployment-kubernetes-backup-resource.html itself. Nor does https://www.arangodb.com/why-arangodb/arangodb-enterprise/ or https://www.arangodb.com/subscriptions/.

I think you'll agree, that the error message from the operator is also less than helpful.

Its two years later, I still do not see this listed in any documentation

Same problem..

2022-10-14T10:18:39Z DBG Refreshing database objects operator-id=xg6z4
{"level":"error","error":"unknown path '/_admin/backup/list'","time":"2022-10-14T10:18:39Z","message":"Unable to refresh database objects"}

Adding this so google can find this thread for others that get this exact error. And the answer seems to be "Not for community edition"
