+# Etcd Backup
+
+In order to backup etcd we create a backup CronJob resource. This constitues of 3 things:
+
+1. etcd-bakcup container image with the etcdctl binary and the python script that uploads
+the backup to Ceph S3 endpoint or any S3 compatible endpoint.
+
+2. The CronJob deployment resource. This job will only be done on the box with label set
+matching is-etcd-backup-enabled.
+
+3. Secrets required for the backup to function. These include the location of the
+S3 endpoint, access keys, and etcd certs to access etcd endpoints.
+
+
+Label one or more box in the cluster to run the job:
+
+```
+kubectl label node etcd01.sjc.ohthree.com is-etcd-backup-node=true
+```
+
+Create the secret:
+
+```
+kubectl --namespace openstack \
+        create secret generic etcd-backup-secrets \
+        --type Opaque \
+        --from-literal=ACCESS_KEY="sadbq4bcva2392dasflkdsp" \
+        --from-literal=SECRET_KEY="aldskflkjpoq32ibdsfko23bnalkfdao2" \
+        --from-literal=S3_HOST="127.0.0.1" \
+        --from-literal=S3_PORT="8081" \
+        --from-literal=ETCDCTL_API="3" \
+        --from-literal=ETCDCTL_ENDPOINTS="https://127.0.0.1:2379" \
+        --from-literal=ETCDCTL_CACERT="/etc/ssl/etcd/ssl/ca.pem" \
+        --from-literal=ETCDCTL_CERT="/etc/ssl/etcd/ssl/member-etcd01.sjc.ohthree.com.pem" \
+        --from-literal=ETCDCTL_KEY="/etc/ssl/etcd/ssl/member-etcd01.sjc.ohthree.com-key.pem"
+```
+
+!!! note
+
+    Make sure to use the correct values for your region.
+
+
+Next, Deploy the backup job:
+
+```
+kubectl apply -k /opt/genestack/kustomize/backups/etcd/etcd-backup.yaml --namespace openstack
+```
