Install Portworx Backup

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

To enable Portworx 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
