Etcd v2.3.7 Persistent
Upgrade WARNING
Automated upgrading to this version is only supported from 2.3.7-beta.1
. If you are on a previous version, please upgrade to 2.3.7-beta.1
before upgrading to this version. It is recommended you perform a manual backup before continuing.
Backup Configuration
Backups are enabled/disabled via the Enable Backups
radio buttons.
The backup period durations must be a sequence of decimal numbers, each with optional fraction and a unit suffix, such as 300ms
, 1.5h
or 2h45m
. Valid time units are ns
, us
or µs
, ms
, s
, m
and h
.
The Backup Creation Period
duration indicates at what rate backups should be created. It is not recommended to create backups more often than 30s
.
The Backup Retention Period
duration indicates at what rate historical backups should be deleted. Backups outside of the retention period are expired after the next successful backup.
The maximum number of backups stored on disk at any given moment follows the equation ceiling(retention period / creation period)
. For example, 5m
creation period with 4h
retention period would store at most ceiling(4h / 5m)
backups or 48
backups. A conservative estimate for backup size is 50MB
, so the attached network storage should have at least 2.4GB
free space. Backup sizes will vary depending on usage.
If backups are disabled, the values for Backup Creation Period
and Backup Retention Period
are ignored.
