Periodic Tungsten Fabric database backups

MOSK enables you to perform the automatic TF data backup in the JSON format using the tf-dbbackup-job cron job. By default, it is disabled. To back up the TF databases, enable tf-dbBackup in the TF Operator custom resource:

API v2 Available since MOSK 24.1

spec:
  features:
     dbBackup:
        enabled: true

API v1alpha1 Deprecated since MOSK 24.2

spec:
  controllers:
    tf-dbBackup:
      enabled: true

By default, the tf-dbbackup-job job is scheduled for weekly execution, allocating PVC of 5 Gi size for storing backups and keeping 5 previous backups. To configure the backup parameters according to the needs of your cluster, use the following structure:

API v2 Available since MOSK 24.1

spec:
  features:
     dbBackup:
        enabled: true
        dataCapacity: 30Gi
        schedule: "0 0 13 * 5"
        storedBackups: 10

API v1alpha1 Deprecated since MOSK 24.2

spec:
  controllers:
    tf-dbBackup:
      enabled: true
      dataCapacity: 30Gi
      schedule: "0 0 13 * 5"
      storedBackups: 10

To temporarily disable tf-dbbackup-job, suspend the job:

        suspend: true

API v1alpha1 Deprecated since MOSK 24.2

    tf-dbBackup:
      enabled: true
      suspend: true

To delete the tf-dbbackup-job job, disable tf-dbBackup in the TF Operator custom resource:

  features:
     dbBackup:
        enabled: false
