Because AlloyDB Omni is PostgreSQL compatible, various backup
solutions developed and supported by the PostgreSQL community are also available
to AlloyDB Omni databases. In general, any solution that allows
you to back up from and restore to a PostgreSQL cluster running in a Docker
container will also work with AlloyDB Omni.
The way that you set up and operate backup and restore features depends on
whether you operate AlloyDB Omni on individual servers using thealloydbcommand-line tool, or whether you run AlloyDB Omni
using the AlloyDB Omni operator. The following sections explore these
options in further detail.
Kubernetes backup solutions
If you have deployed AlloyDB Omni onto a Kubernetes cluster, then
the AlloyDB Omni operator provides backup and restore methods without the
need for any further configuration.
