AKO watches an AerospikeBackup custom resource (CR) that describes a backup configuration for an Aerospike cluster. When you create or update that CR, AKO reconciles it and uses Aerospike Backup Service (ABS) to run the backup. We refer to this object as an Aerospike Backup CR.

You can trigger both on-demand and scheduled backups using kubectl or helm.

Requirements

Before creating backups, deploy the ABS on your Kubernetes cluster using either:

kubectl
Helm

Once ABS is running, apply or update the Aerospike Backup CR; AKO reconciles the CR and drives the backup through ABS.

Create a backup

Create your YAML-formatted backup CR file with the backup configuration you want to perform.

See backup configuration settings for details on the parameters available in the backup CR file. You can find a sample backup CR file in the main Aerospike Kubernetes Operator repository.

You can edit the CR file at any time to make changes and manage the backup.
Use kubectl to apply the CR file you created. AKO reconciles the CR and performs the backup through ABS using your defined settings.
```
kubectl apply -f aerospikebackup.yaml -n aerospike
```

Verify that the AerospikeBackup CR exists and points to the intended backup service.

kubectl -n aerospike get aerospikebackup
kubectl -n aerospike describe aerospikebackup AEROSPIKE_BACKUP_NAME
