Hello guys. I've installed Rancher Desktop 1.5.1 (I'm newbie using this software, I used to with docker-desktop) but I don't see the control-plane pods, where are them?

PS C:\Users\user> kubectl get po -n kube-system

I've tried with nerdctl command but nothing shows

PS C:\Users\user> nerdctl ps -a

CONTAINER ID    IMAGE    COMMAND    CREATED    STATUS    PORTS    NAMES

PS C:\Users\user> kubectl get cs

Another question: How can I backup the etcd db? Thanks in advance!

I’m pretty new to Rancher Desktop as well. But What I’he understood so far is that is based on k3s so there is no etcd

No control plane pods, either

Right, we don't run the Kubernetes parts as a container; it's just a process on the VM (in the Windows case, the WSL VM/container). And since K3s defaults to using sqlite, backups would involve turning off Kubernetes (to make sure it's not in use) and backing up

/var/lib/rancher/k3s/server

per documentation.
