Backup

The current deployment allows a backup on Monday at 2:00AM, please make sure to have sufficient storage in backup-pvc, by default it has 10Gi. It might become quickly saturated so be aware of this while deploying!

In order to view the backups, you can create a debug pod:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: debug-pod
spec:
containers:
- name: shell
    image: busybox
    command: ["/bin/sh", "-c", "sleep 3600"]
    volumeMounts:
    - mountPath: /backups
    name: backup-storage
volumes:
- name: backup-storage
    persistentVolumeClaim:
    claimName: backup-pvc
restartPolicy: Never

Then run these commands:

kubectl apply -f debug-pod.yaml
kubectl exec -it debug-pod -- ls -lh /backups

You should be able to see something like:

-rw-r--r--    1 1001970000 1001970000  119.5K Jun  6 02:00 tess_20250606-020001.dump

Delete the debug-pod:

kubectl delete pod debug-pod
