Install PX-Backup

After installing PX-Central on-premises, you can enable the PX-Backup component. You can enable PX-Backup even after installing the license server and monitoring service components.

To enable PX-Backup:

1. Using Helm, add the Portworx Enterprise repository to your cluster and update it.

   helm repo add <repo-name> portworx http://charts.portworx.io/ && helm repo update

2. Retrieve all custom values you used during install. Generate a YAML file, replacing the values of the <namespace> with your namespace..

   helm get values --namespace <namespace> <release-name> -o yaml > values.yaml

3. Delete the post install hook job.

   kubectl delete job pxcentral-post-install-hook --namespace <namespace>

4. Run the helm upgrade command, using the -f flag to pass the custom values.yaml file you generated above and replacing <namespace> with your namespace:

   helm upgrade <release-name> <repo-name>/px-central --namespace <namespace> -f values.yaml --set pxbackup.enabled=true
