Restore Etcd

CommunityEnterprise

To restore OpenShift etcd, you must restore the etcd snapshot from a previous backup and place it in a local directory. You need to mark the file: @kubernetes/namespaces/<etcd-namespace>/etcd/snaposhot-<day>-<month>-<year>.db.

For detailed instructions on performing a local restore, refer to RestoreToLocalDirectory.

Once the restore is complete, transfer the restored snapshot to the master node in your OpenShift cluster. The exact steps depend on your OpenShift distribution, so consult the official documentation for your distribution.

We have provided a straightforward example using RKE2 in RestoreEtcdRke2Example.
