Backup repository

Using a backup and recovery repository can provide backup business resource data (such as applications) for the cluster and the ability to quickly restore data based on backup files.

Prerequisites

If you want to configure the default storage when deploying components, please prepare the docking information of the storage in advance. Currently, only object storage compatible with S3 (Simple Storage Service) is supported, such as Amazon S3, MinIO, Tencent Cloud Object Storage COS, Huawei Cloud Object Storage OBS, Alibaba Cloud Object Storage OSS, etc.

Procedure

  1. In the left navigation bar, click Clusters > Backup and Recovery.

  2. Switch to the Backup Repository Management tab.

  3. Click Create Backup Repository and configure the relevant parameters according to the following instructions.

    Parameter Description
    Region The region where the data center of the object storage is located.
    Tip: When the object storage is MinIO, please enter “minio”.
    Endpoint The access address of the object storage that provides services to the outside world (HTTP RESTful API method), which must be the terminal address (Endpoint) of the object storage. For example: https://cos.<region>.myqcloud.com.
    Caution: Entering the public access domain name of the object storage (including the bucket name) will cause the plugin to fail. For example: https://<bucket name>.cos.<region>.myqcloud.com.
    Bucket The name of the storage bucket.
    Folder Prefix of the bucket folder used to store backup data. For example: backups.
    Secret Id/Secret Key Access keys used to verify identity when accessing object storage.
    CA Certificate If CA certificate verification is required when accessing the configured object storage, upload the certificate that has been Base64 encoded.

  4. Click Create.

  1. In the left navigation pane, click Clusters > Backup and Recovery.

  2. Switch to the Backup Repository Management tab.

  3. Click the icon on the right of the backup repository, and then click Delete. Confirm the deletion.
