Backup Storage Locations and Volume Snapshot Locations Customization

Configure Backup Storage Locations and Volume Snapshot Locations

For configuring the backupStorageLocations and the volumeSnapshotLocations we will be using the backupLocations.Velero and the snapshotLocations.Velero specs respectively in the oadp_v1alpha1_dpa.yaml file during the deployment.

For instance, If we want to configure aws for backupLocations as well as snapshotLocations pertaining to Velero, our oadp_v1alpha1_dpa.yaml file should look something like this:

apiVersion: oadp.openshift.io/v1alpha1
kind: DataProtectionApplication
metadata:
  name: dpa-sample
spec:
  configuration:
    velero:
      defaultPlugins:
      - openshift
      - aws
    nodeAgent:
      enable: true
      uploaderType: restic
  backupLocations:
    - name: default
      velero:
        provider: aws
        default: true
        objectStorage:
          bucket: my-bucket
          prefix: my-prefix
        config:
          region: us-east-1
          profile: "default"
        credential:
          name: cloud-credentials
          key: cloud
  snapshotLocations:
    - name: default
      velero:
        provider: aws
        config:
          region: us-west-2
          profile: "default"

Note:

  • Be sure to use the same secret name you used while creating the cloud credentials secret in the Operator installation.

  • Another thing to consider are the CR file specs; they should be tailored in accordance to your own cloud provider accounts. For instance, bucket spec value should be according to your own bucket name, and so on.

  • Your backupLocations region should point to your bucket's region, and your snapshotLocations region should point to your cluster's region.

  • Do not configure more than one backupLocations per cloud provider; the velero installation will fail.

  • Parameter reference for backupLocations and snapshotLocations

  • Please add the spec spec.backupLocations.default: true if you see recurring warnings in velero logs with the message "There is no existing backup storage location set as default.". Similarly, you can add default: true for snapshotLocations.
