You can create a backup for any PostgreSQL cluster existing in your project.

CLI
Management console
  1. Create a file of the PostgresqlBackup resource, e.g., using the touch postgresqlbackup.yaml command.

  2. Open the file and paste the configuration:

    apiVersion: postgresql.stackland.yandex.cloud/v1alpha1
    kind: PostgresqlBackup
    metadata:
      name: cluster-backup
    spec:
      cluster:
        name: cluster
    
  3. Apply the manifest: kubectl apply -f postgresqlbackup.yaml -n <project name>. Optionally, you can specify the project name in the metadata.namespace resource property and skip it in the command.

  1. If you have not opened a project yet, select one.
  2. In the left-hand menu, select PostgreSQL Clusters.
  3. Select a cluster.
  4. Click Create backup.
  5. Confirm the creation of a backup.

This is it, your backup has been created.

Note

To recover a deleted cluster from a backup, see Recovering a cluster.
