I am trying with velero
to create backup of GKE Cluster
. I installed successfully on the GKE Cluster
as shown below
$ kubectl get deployment/velero --namespace velero
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
velero 1/1 1 1 43h
$ kubectl get pods --namespace velero
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
velero-847c69f497-hwv6l 1/1 Running 0 43h
I executed below command to initiate backup
$ velero backup create cluster1-backup --include-namespaces default --snapshot-volumes
Backup request "cluster1-backup" submitted successfully.
Run `velero backup describe cluster1-backup` or `velero backup logs cluster1-backup` for more details.
It looks the backup process failed
$ velero backup describe cluster1-backup

I am using public GKE Cluster
on a SharedVPC
with Master Authorized Networks
enabled only to
35.235.240.0/20 . Any suggestions to resolve the issue ?
The issue is resolved now
Was seeing below error in log
kubectl logs deployment/velero -n velero
time="2020-10-05T13:41:19Z" level=error msg="Error getting backup store for this location" backupLocation=default controller=backup-sync error="backup storage location's bucket name \"gs://bucketname/\" must not contain a '/' (if using a prefix, put it in the 'Prefix' field instead)" error.file="/go/src/github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pkg/persistence/object_store.go:110" error.function=github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pkg/persistence.NewObjectBackupStore logSource="pkg/controller/backup_sync_controller.go:168"
There was an '/' after the bucket name while creating the environmental variable
It seems when creating the environmental variable , we donot have to add "gs://" in the environmental variable.
BUCKET=bucketname
If the bucket does not exist create the bucket as shown below
gsutil mb gs://$BUCKET/
During installation of velero server , do not add gs:// before bucket name in the velero install
command as shown below
velero install --provider gcp --plugins velero/velero-plugin-for-gcp:v1.1.0 --bucket $BUCKET --secret-file ./credentials-velero
BUCKET=bucketname

It may be necessary for you to delete existing velero
installation before trying a new installation . To uninstall velero
use below command
kubectl delete namespace -n velero
