To avoid losing your Edge site configurations, you can back up an Edge site. You can use this backup to restore it later, for example when you want to reinstall an Edge site with a new installer.
The following will be included in the backup:
- The public/private key of the site used for sending and encrypting secrets.
- The secrets used in connections, capabilities and vaults.
Note For privacy reasons, Edge site backups remain in your personal environment and are not sent to the cloud.
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 will need to download the Edge tool.
On the server from which you manage your EKS cluster, 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 defined folder of the last command.
Tip If the Edge command is not available, you will need to download the Edge tool.
