You can choose to automate your backup process for Kubernetes application groups using backup policies. A backup policy specifies the backup schedule and retention criteria for backup jobs. For more information, see Manage Backup Policies.

You may also generate a manual backup of a specific Kubernetes application group on Druva CloudRanger.

• Log into your Druva CloudRanger console and navigate to Resources > Kubernetes.
• Select a Cluster Name.

• Navigate to the Application Groups tab.
• Select the application group that you wish to back up and then click Backup Now.
• Click Back Up to initiate the backup process.
  
  

• Select the Recipe to be applied to the backup and then click Backup Now.

 CloudRanger triggers a backup job to initiate the backup process. Navigate to the Jobs page to view the status of the backup job. Once the job is complete, you can view the backup set generated from the Backups tab.

For detailed instructions on triggering backup via the command-line interface, see Trigger Backups Using Command Line Interface.
