Enable backup for database services

Once the DBS backup repository is set up, an Application Operator (AO) must enable backup service for a DBS DBCluster.

Enable backup services for DBS

To enable backup services for DBS, create a DBS BackupPlan resource in the same namespace. The backupRetainDays must be set to the number of days after which a backup can be automatically deleted.

Oracle BackupPlan example:

apiVersion:oracle.dbadmin.gdc.goog/v1
kind:BackupPlan
metadata:
name:backupplan1
spec:
dbclusterRef:dbcluster-sample
backupRetainDays:14
paused:false

Postgres BackupPlan example:

apiVersion:postgresql.dbadmin.gdc.goog/v1
kind:BackupPlan
metadata:
name:backupplan1
spec:
dbclusterRef:dbcluster-sample
backupRetainDays:14
paused:false

Once BackupPlan is created, DBS will start automatic backups once per day. The available recovery window is viewed in the BackupPlan's status.recoveryWindow field.
