Question: About backup using Velero

[SI]

Hello.

I am planning to use Velero to get backups of an EKS cluster.
I have some questions about backups using Velero.

Does the backup with Velero use full backup by default?
If so, is there any way to do incremental backups using Velero?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

It would be helpful to give more details about your backup plan. But here are some points to keep on mind:

Every Velero backup includes resource metadata as a tar.gz file. This is the archive of all the selected resource specs. Its size should not be a concern. In addition, if you are going to take snapshots of EBS volumes, Velero will issue EBS snapshot requests with each backup. I believe EBS snapshots are already incremental. Finally, are you planning to use restic backups? In that case, restic does backup only changed data.

But as I said, more details about your backup requirements would help in better answering the question.

Thanks,
