Backing Up NFS Volumes in Google Cloud ​

WARNING

This is a beta feature available only per request for SAP-internal teams.

This tutorial explains how to create backups for Network File System (NFS) volumes in Google Cloud.

Prerequisites ​

NOTE

All the examples below assume that the GcpNfsVolume is named my-vol and is in the same namespace as the GcpNfsVolumeBackup resource.

Steps ​

  1. Export the namespace as an environment variable. Run:

    shell
    export NAMESPACE={NAMESPACE_NAME}

  2. Create an GcpNfsVolumeBackup resource.

    shell
    cat <<EOF | kubectl -n $NAMESPACE apply -f -
apiVersion: cloud-resources.kyma-project.io/v1beta1
kind: GcpNfsVolumeBackup
metadata:
  name: my-backup
spec:
  source:
    volume:
      name: my-vol
EOF

  3. Wait for the GcpNfsVolumeBackup to be in the Ready state.

    shell
    kubectl -n $NAMESPACE wait --for=condition=Ready gcpnfsvolumebackup/my-backup --timeout=300s

    Once the GcpNfsVolumeBackup is created, you should see the following message:

    console
    gcpnfsvolumebackup.cloud-resources.kyma-project.io/my-backup condition met

  4. Observe the location of the created backup.

    shell
    kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get gcpnfsvolumebackup my-backup -o jsonpath='{.status.location}{"\n"}'

Next Steps ​

To clean up, remove the created GcpNfsVolumeBackup:

shell
kubectl delete -n $NAMESPACE gcpnfsvolumebackup my-backup
