How to create and list backups
This guide contains recommended steps and useful commands for creating and managing backups to ensure smooth restores.
Prerequisites
- A cluster with at least three-nodes deployed
- Access to S3 storage
- Configured settings for S3 storage
Create a backup
Once you have a three-node cluster with configurations set for S3 storage, check that Charmed PostgreSQL is active
and idle
with juju status
.
Once Charmed PostgreSQL is active
and idle
, you can create your first backup with the create-backup
command:
juju run postgresql-k8s/leader create-backup
By default, backups created with command above will be full backups: a copy of all your data will be stored in S3. There are 2 other supported types of backups (available in revision 263+, currently in channel 14/edge
only):
- Differential: Only modified files since the last full backup will be stored.
- Incremental: Only modified files since the last successful backup (of any type) will be stored.
To specify the desired backup type, use the type
parameter:
juju run postgresql-k8s/leader create-backup type={full|differential|incremental}
Tip: To avoid unnecessary service downtime, always use non-primary units for the action create-backup
. Keep in mind that:
- TLS enabled: disables the command from running on primary units.
- TLS not enabled: disables the command from running on non-primary units.
List backups
You can list your available, failed, and in-progress backups by running the list-backups
command:
juju run postgresql-k8s/leader list-backups
