Whether Rancher_backups take backup of entire cluster like velero?

are you talking about rancher backups, or rke2 etcd snapshots?

rancher backups

I would probably ask rancher questions on #general not #rke2. but no, rancher backups only back up rancher-specific cluster resources.

I thought it will take backup of entire cluster not limited to cattle-fleet-local-system and cattle-fleet-system.

it does not do persistent volume data or anything like that

not looking for persistent volume, but services/deployments…etc deployed in other than d cattle-fleet-local-system and cattle-fleet-system namespace.

The backup-restore operator needs to be installed in the local cluster, and only backs up the Rancher app. The backup and restore operations are performed only in the local Kubernetes cluster.

sure got it, thank you very much for quick share.
