Backing up and restoring Runtime Fabric

It is critical to back up the Runtime Fabric cluster so that it can be restored in the event of any failures. Data in Runtime Fabric is distributed across the Kubernetes cluster.

It is important to preserve the application that’s been deployed to Runtime Fabric in the event of any failures so that it can restore all the applications, its configuration, and its state:

• Always store a backup in external storage that is outside Runtime Fabric
• It is a best practice to back up Runtime Fabric every hour

When to use the backup and restore process

There are a few use cases where the backup and restore process can be used:

• During the hardware upgrade of Runtime Fabric, where you can add more computing resources and migrate to the new operating system
• Migrating Runtime Fabric from on-premises to the cloud or one cloud provider to another
• Migrating Runtime Fabric from one data center to another
