Platform settings

Backup

info

To create backups, Object Storage needs to be enabled.

info

The Backup in the Settings will NOT be visible when the installation is done by Akamai Cloud.

The Backup section provides the option to:

• enable automatic backups of application databases
• add a Linode API Token for Velero to make backups of Persistent Volumes

Database Backups

Select to backup the database of the app.

Setting	Description
Enabled	Select to enable the backup of Otomi platform services
TTL After Finished	Expiration of the backup.
Schedule	Cron-type expression to schedule the backup. Defaults to once a day at 00:00.

Persistent Volume Backups

info

The Persistent Volume Backups section will not be visible when App Platform is deployed directly through LKE (not manually installed). This is because using Velero is not (yet) supported for Akamai's Block Storage Volumes.

note

To use Velero to create backups of Persistent Volumes, Object Storage needs to be enabled.

To use Velero to create backups of Persistent Volumes in Akamai:

1. Create a Linode API Token in Akamai's Cloud Manager.

2. Fill in the token and submit changes.

3. Go to the apps section in the left menu and enable Velero.
