Back up and restore an Edge site

To avoid losing your Edge site configurations, you can back up an Edge site and later restore it, for example when you want to reinstall an Edge site with a new installer.

Note For privacy reasons, Edge site backups remain in your personal environment and are not sent to the cloud.

Back up an Edge site

  • Back up on K3S
  • Back up on EKS

On the server that runs your Edge site, execute the following command:

~$ ./edge backup -o /<path to folder where you want to save the backup file>/<backup-name>.yaml

Edge creates a backup of your Edge site in the selected folder of the command.

Tip If the edge command is not available, you first have to download it.

On the server from which you manage your EKS cluster, execute the following commands:

~$ ./edge backup -o /<path to folder where you want to save the backup file>/<backup-name>.yaml

Edge creates a backup of your Edge site in the defined folder of the last command.

Tip If the edge command is not available, you first have to download it.
