How to Back Up Local Path Provisioner PVCs with Velero FSB
How to Back Up Local Path Provisioner PVCs with Velero FSB Local Path Provisioner is a practical storage choice for edge, development, and lab Kubernetes clusters. It exposes node-local storage through a Kubernetes StorageClass, which keeps deployment simple but introduces an important backup consideration: the underlying data is a directory on a node, not a portable block volume. This guide shows how to back up Local Path Provisioner PVCs with Velero file-system backup (FSB). When a Velero backup contains Kubernetes objects but not PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) data, the usual cause is a snapshot-based backup configuration. Local Path Provisioner PVCs need Velero’s node agent to back up the mounted filesystem to object storage such as MinIO. ...
