Volumes

The most reliable way of creating a backup of all Connectware-related data is to backup all used volumes completely. All volumes that have been defined from the docker-compose.yml file for Docker Compose, or created through PersistentVolumeClaims in your Kubernetes namespace, can be backed up, and if they are all restored, the Connectware installation is fully restored.

While backing up the postgresql data volume includes the database with users and services, file based or snapshot based backups of databases are not guaranteed to be crash-consistent.

To ensure a working backup of Connectware's postgresql database, use Connectware's database backup functionality.
