dears,
we have an env where there 2 CSI drivers, ebs-aws that support volumesnapshot, and efs that does not.
all pods and data are stored on ebs-aws, the pods on ebs generates a continuous logs and all are stored on EFS and saved as files.
the question is, when we run the backup for the applications on ebs, the logs stored on EFS will be backed up and all are protected? or there is additional tasks to do?
Hello
So for clarity, a pod of yours creates a EFS volumes and stores logs into this volume correct. Are these EFS volume dynamically created?
Thanks
Emmanuel
Hello
The customer confirm that the logs are saved as files not as PVC format, and yes the logs are dynamically saved on EFS
any updates?
Hello
I would recommend taking a look at this link “https://docs.kasten.io/latest/install/storage.html#efs-csi”. This goes over the setup necessary for K10 to support backing up both Static and Dynamically Provisioned EFS volumes. Dynamically will require GVS and will need to be built with this in mind. “https://docs.kasten.io/latest/install/shareable-volume.html#shareable-volume-backup-and-restore”
Thanks
Emmanuel
As I understand it, you have some pods or applications running with their Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) on EBS. However, you're also collecting logs and sending them to a file in EFS.
If this file or logs resides within your EBS PVC along with the EFS, then K10 will include it in the backup. However, if you're directly pushing logs to a backend (EFS) from within an application, you're following a "cluster-level logging" approach, where logs should have separate storage and a lifecycle independent of nodes, pods, or containers.
In such a scenario, if you push the logs directly to your EFS without maintaining another copy within the application's PVC, it would not be included in the backup.
Typically, K10 backs up everything within your application namespace and all the data inside the application's PVC.

Much thanks,
