PBM

Platform Backup Manager (PBM) is Kaa component that is used to back up and restore the platform.

It is deployed into the Kubernetes namespace with Kaa instance and periodically backs up all storages and uploads snapshots into the storage-backup--{K8s-namespace} AWS S3 bucket creating it if it doesn’t exist. The backup frequency is defined as a cron expression.

Although the backup procedure is running automatically, PBM can be used as a CLI to backup and restore the platform.
