Platform - Backups

info

To enable this feature, first make sure Velero is activated.

When Velero is activated on the platform level, platform admins can create backups of Persistent Volumes (PVs) in Team namespaces using Otomi Console. When creating backups using Otomi Console, a Velero schedule resource is created that will create the backup at a specified time, defined by a Cron expression.

All known Backups on the platform are listed here. Builds can be sorted based on:

Property	Description
Name	The name of the backup
Schedule	When the backup is scheduled to run
Team	The name of the Team responsible for the backup

Backups of Team PVs can only be created by platform administrators

4. (optional) Select Snapshot Volumes to snapshot volumes. This only applies to Persistent Volumes in Azure, GCE, and AWS.

5. Add a label selector. Make sure your workload has the correct labels.
