Cloud Backup:View cluster backups

Last Updated:Sep 21, 2023

The cluster backup feature is available in Cloud Backup and Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK). The application backup feature of ACK uses Cloud Backup to back up persistent volumes (PVs) that are provided by Apsara File Storage NAS and Object Storage Service (OSS). This topic describes how to view the basic information of cluster backups in the Cloud Backup console.

Prerequisites

The cluster backup feature is enabled in the ACK console. For more information, see Install migrate-controller and grant permissions.
