Manage backup retention

Charmed PostgreSQL backups can be managed via a retention policy. This retention can be set by the user in the form of a configuration parameter in the charm s3-integrator via the config option experimental-delete-older-than-days.

This guide will teach you how to set this configuration and how it works in managing existing backups.

Note: This is an EXPERIMENTAL parameter, use it with caution.

Configure S3-integrator charm

If not done already, deploy and run the charm:

juju deploy s3-integrator
juju run s3-integrator/leader sync-s3-credentials access-key=<access-key-here> secret-key=<secret-key-here>

Then, use juju config to add the desired retention time in days:

juju config s3-integrator experimental-delete-older-than-days=<number-of-days>

To pass these configurations to a Charmed PostgreSQL application, integrate the two applications:

juju integrate s3-integrator postgresql

If at any moment it is desired to remove this option, the user can erase this configuration from the charm:

juju config s3-integrator --reset experimental-delete-older-than-days

Note: This configuration will be enforced in every Charmed PostgreSQL application related to the configured S3-integrator charm

Note: The retention is not enforced automatically once a backup is older than the set amount of days: Backups older than the set retention time will only get expired only once a newer backup is created.

This behavior avoids complete backup deletion if there has been no newer backups created in the charm.

The s3-integrator charm accepts many configurations - enter whichever are necessary for your S3 storage.
