We are running FoundationDB with the
official kubernetes operator.
FoundationDB supports logical backups (with backup_agent) and disaster
recovery (with dr_agent) through copying the database/streaming changes
logically. It also supports binary backups through
disk snapshots.
In this blog post, we will describe how to make a backup of FoundationDB via
backup_agent. The FoundationDB operator supports making logical backups via
backup_agent, but it does not support running DR with dr_agent. We decided
to run backup_agent as a separate deployment to allow a symmetric setup with
dr_agent.
