Kubernetes OpenShift backup for Rabbit - RabbitMQ

Hi Grzegorz_Z,

Commvault doesn’t have any specific RabbitMQ recommendations or best practices.
To cover an application appropriately, it’s best to figure out the Recovery Point Objective, so if the PVC for RabbitMQ went offline and needed recovery, how far back is the business willing to go to recover data?

If that is only 15-30 minutes, then you can configure a schedule backups to run every 15-30 minutes. The recommendation, however, would probably be to configure this to be incremental backups with synthetic full backups every week or 2, depending on your environment’s needs.

This should keep the application protected adequately.

If there are specific vendor requirements you could look at implementing them via CvTasks: https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/software/application_consistent_backups_for_kubernetes_using_cvtasks.html

Cheers,

Many thanks for your response!

Yea, i do agree that we can configure just a regular k8s backup for this Namespace or so. But I am wondering how it will affect our DDB, space and k8s environment itself.
This 30 minutes wont be to short? I do have faced a problem with DDB previously while making to many NFS backups per day. But here we do use Dell DDB instead of CV DDB…

 

Space shouldn’t be affected as the PVC data/snapshot is read from a file level when mounted against the worker node so any DDB should be able to deduplicate it well. k8s also shouldn’t be impacted as long as the resourcing is available for the worker to run. I can’t speak for a Dell DDB, however. I’d suggest reaching out to Dell to confirm if there might be any issues.

Cheers,
