Enable disaster recovery features

Improve this page by contributing to our documentation.

The Bitnami etcd Helm chart supports automatic disaster recovery by periodically snapshotting the keyspace. If the cluster permanently loses more than (N-1)/2 members, it tries to recover the cluster from a previous snapshot.

Enable this feature with the following parameters:

persistence.enabled=true
disasterRecovery.enabled=true
disasterRecovery.pvc.size=2Gi
disasterRecovery.pvc.storageClassName=nfs

If the startFromSnapshot.* parameters are used at the same time as the disasterRecovery.* parameters, the PVC provided via the startFromSnapshot.existingClaim parameter will be used to store the periodical snapshots.

NOTE: The disaster recovery feature requires volumes with ReadWriteMany access mode.
