Backups - Wickr Enterprise

This guide provides documentation for Wickr Enterprise. If you're using AWS Wickr, see AWS Wickr Administration Guide or AWS Wickr User Guide.

Backups

Wickr Enterprise utilizes Velero for Backup purposes. Velero provides the necessary tools for backing up and restoring Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes, whether operating on a cloud provider or on-premises.

Velero backups with Minio: Currently Velero backups are only enabled for Minio in Low Resource Mode.

Limitation

By default, no volumes are included in the backup. If any pods mount a volume that should be backed up, you must configure the backup with an annotation listing the specific volumes to include in the backup.

For each volume that requires a backup, add the backup.velero.io/backup-volumes annotation. The annotation name is backup.velero.io/backup-volumes and the value is a comma separated list of volumes to include in the backup. For more information, see Configure Snapshots.
