Now that we have an object store credential set up, let us create a backuplocations CRD called mysql.

To do this, make use of the template file located at /root/backup-location.yaml. Make sure that the missing fields are populated before creating the object.

S3Config:

   accessKeyID: ZZYYXXWWVVUU
   secretAccessKey: 0ldSup3rS3cr3t

To determine the endpoint, run the below command: mc admin info px

To find the path/ bucket-name, run the below command: mc ls px'

We have created a MYSQL deployment in the mysql-app namespace. This deployment makes use of PX volume and has some data in a table called demodb.

Create an applicationBackup CRD called backup. Make use of the template file located at /root/app-backup.yaml

Wait for the backup to complete before proceeding.

Now that the backup has been completed successfully, we can view it in the object store by running:

mc tree px/

Create an ApplicationBackupSchedule called backupschedule which uses the pre-existing schedulepolicy called testpolicy.

Make use of the below the template located in /root/app-schedule.yaml. Enter the below parameters while creating this object:

   backupLocation: mysql,
   schedulePolicyName: testpolicy,
   namespaces: mysql-app,
   reclaimPolicy: Delete

Once created, wait for backup to complete.

(It may take a moment for the script to verify the action when clicking Continue)

Now, restore the application back in its original source. Use the template file located at /root/app-restore.yaml.

Make use of the below parameters while creating this object:

   name: restore
   namespace: mysql-app
   Application Backup Name: backup
   Backup Location: mysql
   namespaceMapping: mysql-app --> mysql-app
   replacePolicy: Delete

Once created, wait for the restore to complete.

You can use the following command to check. kubectl describe applicationrestore -n mysql-app

Inspect the deployment that was restored back to the mysql-app namespace.

kubectl -n mysql-app get pods

Now, lets clone the MYSQL deployment to a different namespace called clone-mysql. Use the template file located at /root/app-clone.yaml.

Make use of the below parameters while creating this object:

   name: clone-mysql
   namespace: kube-system
   sourceNamespace: mysql-app
   destinationNamespace: clone-mysql

Wait for the clone to complete before proceeding.

Inspect the deployment cloned in the clone-mysql namespace.

kubectl -n clone-mysql get pods
