Because AlloyDB Omni is PostgreSQL compatible, various backup solutions developed and supported by the PostgreSQL community are also available to AlloyDB Omni databases. In general, any solution that allows you to back up from and restore to a PostgreSQL cluster running in a Docker container will also work with AlloyDB Omni.
The way that you set up and operate backup and restore features depends on whether you operate AlloyDB Omni on individual servers using the alloydb command-line tool, or whether you run AlloyDB Omni using the AlloyDB Omni operator. The following sections explore these options in further detail.
Kubernetes backup solutions
If you have deployed AlloyDB Omni onto a Kubernetes cluster, then the AlloyDB Omni operator provides backup and restore methods without the need for any further configuration.
