Backups

Backups are enabled by default. The mariadb instance will be backed up daily at a randomly chosen time between 22:00 and 4:00.

You can specify a different backup time and interval using the following backup configuration:

apiVersion: vshn.appcat.vshn.io/v1
kind: VSHNMariadb
metadata:
  name: mariadb-app1-prod
  namespace: <your-namespace>
spec:
  parameters:
    ...
    backup:
      schedule: 0 22 * * * (1)
    ...

1	The schedules for your backups.

Disable Backups

To disable backups, set the backup.enabled field to false:

apiVersion: vshn.appcat.vshn.io/v1
kind: VSHNMariadb
metadata:
  name: mariadb-app1-prod
  namespace: <your-namespace>
spec:
  parameters:
    ...
    backup:
      enabled: false
    ...

If backups were previously enabled, existing backups will be retained until their retention period expires.

Disabling backups is meant for test instances only. It is not recommended to disable backups for production instances.
