Data backups in production

[FrostyX]

Do we have backups in CommuniShift for free, administered by Fedora Infra team, or do we have to setup them on our own?

[FrostyX]

@nirik can you please let us know?

[siteshwar]

@FrostyX I am in a similar situation and this answer may be useful for you.

[nirik]

Yeah, no backups of any kind for communishift projects.

Our prod/stg clusters, everything in ansible or the external db server are backed up, but 'content' like netapp volumes of storage pvc's are not. Most services don't have persistent data like that at all, it can be all recreated from the application.

#62 introduces cronjob that tars our data every day - only thing now needed is to add a functionality that will upload this tar somewhere

[FrostyX]

that will upload this tar somewhere

I would go the other way around and set up something, that will periodically download the tarball

[FrostyX]

We can add something like this to Cron:

wget https://log-detective.com/download -O $(date +"log-detective-%Y-%m-%d-%s.tar.gz")
