`AtlasBackupSchedule` Custom Resource

On this page

Example

Parameters

The AtlasBackupSchedule custom resource configures a backup schedule that you can apply to your AtlasDeployment Custom Resource. When you create the AtlasBackupSchedule custom resource, Atlas Kubernetes Operator tries to create or update a backup schedule.

Important

Custom Resources No Longer Delete Objects by Default

Atlas Kubernetes Operator uses custom resource configuration files to manage your Atlas configuration, but as of Atlas Kubernetes Operator 2.0, custom resources you delete in Kubernetes are no longer deleted in Atlas. Instead, Atlas Kubernetes Operator simply stops managing those resources. For example, if you delete an AtlasProject Custom Resource in Kubernetes, Atlas Kubernetes Operator no longer automatically deletes the corresponding project from Atlas, preventing accidental or unexpected deletions. To learn more, including how to revert this behavior to the default used prior to Atlas Kubernetes Operator 2.0, see New Default: Deletion Protection in Atlas Kubernetes Operator 2.0.

Atlas Kubernetes Operator does one of the following actions using the Atlas Cloud Backup Schedule API Resource:

Creates a new backup schedule.
Updates an existing backup schedule.

If you remove the AtlasBackupSchedule resource from your Kubernetes cluster, Atlas stops creating backups for your cluster.

Note

You must do all of the following to back up a cluster:

Create a backup policy
Create a backup schedule and set the spec.policy.name field to the name of the configured backup policy.
Set the spec.backupRef.name field in the AtlasDeployment Custom Resource to the name of the configured backup schedule.

To learn more, see Back Up Your Atlas Cluster.

You can specify one backup schedule per cluster, but you can use the same backup schedule for multiple clusters.

Example

The following example shows an AtlasBackupSchedule custom resource configured to take snapshots at 10:10 UTC and restore up to two days:

apiVersion: atlas.mongodb.com/v1
kind: AtlasBackupSchedule
metadata:
  name: atlas-default-backupschedule
spec:
  autoExportExabled: true
  copySettings:
  - cloudProvider: AWS
    frequencies:
    - HOURLY
    regionName: US_EAST_1
    shouldCopyOplogs: true
  referenceHourOfDay: 10
  referenceMinuteOfHour: 10
  restoreWindowDays: 2
  policy:
    name: atlas-default-backuppolicy
    namespace: mongodb-atlas-system

spec.export

Type: object

Optional

Policy for automatically exporting cloud backup snapshots.

spec.export.exportBucketId

Type: string

spec.export.frequencyType

Type: string

Optional

Human-readable label that indicates the rate at which the export policy item occurs.

spec.referenceHourOfDay

Type: number

Optional

Number that indicates the UTC hour of day between 0 and 23, inclusive, representing the hour of the day that Atlas takes snapshots for backup policy items.

spec.referenceMinuteOfHour

Type: number

Optional

Number that indicates the minutes after spec.referenceHourOfDay that Atlas takes snapshots for backup policy items. Value must be between 0 59 inclusive.

spec.restoreWindowDays

Type: number

Optional

Number that indicates the days back in time that you can restore to with continuous cloud backup accuracy. Value must be a positive, non-zero integer.

This setting applies to continuous cloud backups only.

spec.policy

Type: array

Required

List that contains the details for the backup policy to apply.

spec.policy.name

Type: string

Required

metadata.name value within thhe AtlasBackupPolicy Custom Resource for the backup policy that you want to apply. You can specify only one backup policy per backup schedule. You can't use the same backup policy in multiple backup schedules.
