This section describes the backup process.
The Bare Metal Orchestrator Backup function uses a Backup Controller (Velero) service that runs in the RKE2 cluster master node. The Backup Controller takes snapshots of all k8s resources as a single unit and supports both on-demand and scheduled backups. Backup files are valid for up to 30 days.
Limitations
Observe the following:
- Save backups to only one backup storage location.
- Backup files expire one month after creation.
