PVC backup/restore only #8241

Hello @s4ndalHat, I don't know if you can only backup and restore PVCs using Velero by excluding the cluster resources. Nevertheless, I want to address this other point you are mentioning: I encourage you to move from file system backup to CSI snapshots, as it fixed some issues we faced about consistency data of Kubernetes statefulsets. Velero team did a great job on this recently. More here: https://velero.io/docs/main/csi/ |

Hi @ehemmerlin, thanks for your reply.
and on some environment, this takes too long like 6 hours to backup 100Gi using CSI data mover... I may misconfigured something ? Thank you |

You are welcome @s4ndalHat. I'm only a Velero user and not a maintainer, so I'm curious to read an answer to your question as we will soon have to backup 100Gi using CSI data mover too. |

@s4ndalHat Usually, the first part shouldn't consume too much time. |

Thank you, Yes, at the moment, we revert back to using the fs backup, but how can I check which part of the process is taking time ? I mean how can I monitor it ? |

If the snapshot creation is time-consuming, please check the VolumeSnapshot's creation time in the PVC namespace. |

Hello everyone,
Wanted to ask, does Velero provide a backup/restore mechanism on PVC only ?
Use case:
I deploy kubernetes clusters and applications using ArgoCD so almost every resources are handled by gitOps.
Sometimes, I don't want the cluster resources design, but I only need the source PVC data to inject into the new deployment.
I currently use fs-backup, but we planned to use CSI snaspshot backup with ceph.
If you have any advice, it would be appreciated 🙏🏾 .
Thank you
