We are running FoundationDB with the official kubernetes operator.
FoundationDB supports logical backups (with backup_agent
) and disaster recovery (with dr_agent
) through copying
the database/streaming changes logically. It also supports binary backups through disk snapshots.
In this blog post, we will describe how to make a backup of FoundationDB via backup_agent
. The FoundationDB operator
supports making logical backups via backup_agent
, but it does not support running DR with dr_agent
. We decided to run backup_agent
as a separate deployment to allow a symmetric setup with dr_agent
.
