FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Longhorn backups for Kubernetes volumes?▼

Configure Longhorn backups by wiring an S3 or NFS backup target with proper credentials, then authoring a RecurringJob to automate snapshots with configurable retention and concurrency.

How do I restore a Longhorn volume from a backup?▼

Restore Longhorn volumes by creating a restore-as-new-PVC or initiating a DR volume workflow, supporting cross-cluster failover and disaster recovery from existing S3 or NFS backups.

Can I use Longhorn backup targets with both S3 and NFS storage?▼

Longhorn supports configuring backup targets for both S3 and NFS storage, requiring proper credential setup and endpoint configuration to enable automated recurring backup jobs.

How do I schedule recurring backup jobs in Longhorn?▼

Schedule recurring backup jobs in Longhorn by authoring a RecurringJob resource that defines backup frequency, retention policies, and concurrency limits to automate Kubernetes volume protection.

What is a Longhorn disaster recovery volume workflow?▼

A Longhorn disaster recovery volume workflow enables cross-cluster failover by restoring data from backups into new PVCs, allowing applications to recover using previously scheduled backup snapshots stored on S3 or NFS targets.
