Storkctl create custom ApplicationBackup and ApplicationRestores using resourceTypes flag, Portworx.

We support from Stork 23.8.0 onwards the flag resourceTypes

Reminder, how to download Storkctl tool:

STORK_POD=$(kubectl get pods -l name=stork -n kube-system -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')

# for macos 
kubectl cp $STORK_POD:/storkctl/darwin/storkctl ./storkctl --namespace kube-system --retries=20

# for linux
kubectl cp $STORK_POD:/storkctl/linux/storkctl ./storkctl --namespace kube-system --retries=20

# for windows
kubectl cp $STORK_POD:/storkctl/windows/storkctl.exe ./storkctl.exe --namespace kube-system --retries=20

Create the ApplicationBackup object using Storkctl tool.

bin/linux/storkctl create applicationbackups


bin/linux/storkctl create backup -h
Start an applicationBackup

Usage:
  storkctl create applicationbackups [flags]

Aliases:
  applicationbackups, applicationbackup, backup, backups

Flags:
  -b, --backupLocation string   BackupLocation to use for the backup

      --preExecRule string      Rule to run before executing applicationbackup
      --resourceTypes string    List of specific resource types which need to be backed up, ex: "Deployment,PersistentVolumeClaim"
      --wait                    Wait for applicationbackup to complete




bin/linux/storkctl create backup back4-1 --resourceTypes "Deployment,PersistentVolumeClaim,mongodbcommunity" --namespaces mongodb -n kube-system -b bl1
ApplicationBackup back4-1 started successfully

Restore using storkctl tool:

bin/linux/storkctl create applicationrestores


bin/linux/storkctl create applicationrestores -h
Start an applicationRestore

Usage:
  storkctl create applicationrestores [flags]

Aliases:
  applicationrestores, applicationrestore, apprestore, apprestores

Flags:
  -l, --backupLocation string   BackupLocation to use for the restore
  -b, --backupName string       Backup to restore from
  -h, --help                    help for applicationrestores
  -r, --replacePolicy string    Policy to use if resources being restored already exist (Retain or Delete). (default "Retain")
      --resources string        Specific resources for restoring, should be given in format "<kind>/<namespace>/<name>,<kind>/<namespace>/<name>,<kind>/<name>", ex: "<Deployment>/<ns1>/<dep1>,<PersistentVolumeClaim>/<ns1>/<pvc1>,<ClusterRole>/<clusterrole1>"
      --wait                    Wait for applicationrestore to complete


bin/linux/storkctl create applicationrestores restore4-2 -l bl1 -b back4-1 -r Delete --resources "PersistentVolumeClaim/mongodb/data-volume-example-mongodb-0,PersistentVolumeClaim/mongodb/data-volume-example-mongodb-1,PersistentVolumeClaim/mongodb/data-volume-example-mongodb-2,MongoDBCommunity/mongodb/example-mongodb" -n kube-system
ApplicationRestore restore4-2 started successfully


bin/linux/storkctl create applicationrestores restore4-3
-l bl1 -b back4-1 -r Delete --resources "PersistentVolumeClaim/mongodb/data-volume-example-mongodb-0" -n kube-system
