Auto Etcd Snapshot/Backup

[mxzinke]

Maybe it could be useful, to have a backup Mechanism for time interval X. The snapshot could be pushed to some s3 or a persistent volume.

Explicitly, when having just one control plane, the chances are high, that etcd data get lost.

Is this a private repo? Because I have no access / page not found...

[smira]

It shouldn't be, let me check

Also interested in this service,

but currently we just use a k8s cronjob, which executes talosctl etcd snapshot together with Talos k8s Serviceaccounts, which works too.

I don't see any reason this shouldn't be open. But we just want to make sure there's nothing sensitive in the repo, since it was originally just a proof of concept, so let me take a closer look. Soon!

Did you get around to finding out if the referenced repository could be made available, @rsmitty? I'm sure that it would be greatly appreciated by the community.

@wwentland thx for the reminder. I've added a ticket to track this internally. Will get it cleaned up and published later this week/early next.

Hey @wwentland and everyone else, sorry for the delay, but the talos-backup repo is now open. You can find it here: https://github.com/siderolabs/talos-backup

That's fantastic, thank you @rsmitty!
