Etcd-Backup-Restore

Etcd-backup-restore is a collection of components for backing up and restoring an etcd cluster. It also validates the etcd's data directory and auto-triggers restoration when needed.

etcd-backup-restore currently provides the following capabilities (the list is not comprehensive):

• Backups: etcd database snapshots (a.k.a full snapshots) and incremental snapshots are taken regularly, compressed and stored in the configured object storage provider.
• Data directory validation: It validates the etcd data directory before starting any etcd member.
• Restoration: In case of a database corruption for a single-member cluster it restores from latest set of snapshots (full & delta).
• Zero-downtime member recovery: Replaces a failed member in a multi-member etcd cluster without any downtime.
• Automated maintenance: Auto runs etcd's database maintenance operations such as defragmentation on a configured schedule.
• Secondary backups: In addition to primary backup storage, it uploads backups to a secondary object store, if configured, for higher backup resilience.
• Metrics: Exposes metrics to monitor the health and status of etcd-backup-restore operations.
