Hi!

I am testing Kasten K10 and we want to be able to backup and restore Postgres databases. We currently use the StackGres Operator to deploy Postgres database clusters.

What is the recommended way to backup and restore a StackGres Postgres Cluster using Kasten? If you don’t use StackGres, what is your approach and why?

Thanks in advance!

You want to learn about Kanister blueprints in K10 = https://docs.kasten.io/latest/kanister/kanister.html

https://Kanister.io is now a CNCF Sandbox project originally created by Kasten!

There are many approaches to Postgres and there are example blueprints on the Kanister.io web site. There many Operator approaches to Postgres, as well!

So far EnterpriseDB’s Postgres operator has an officially supported Kanister blueprint, but I’m not aware of any community contribution for StackGres. Please review what’s out there, there are many possible next steps: come to a Kanister community meeting, propose an issue, adapt existing blueprints to your needs, and please contribute back.
