Subject: Quick Question About AWX Backup and Restore

Hi Team,

I hope you’re all doing well! I recently installed AWX using **Kubernetes (Operator)**, and I have a quick question. If my server happens to go down or crash, what’s the best way to back it up and restore it?

If you have any official documentation or steps to guide me, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks a bunch!

The AWX operator has backup and restore roles.

You basically create a backup object and if you need to restore it, you create a restore object. There are a lot of different architectures you can go with based on this principle, but it depends on your setup and expectations.
