Take a backup or restore a backup using commands

Requirements

You will need the following details to export/restore backups to your own CSP storage bucket:

AWS

1. AWS S3 endpoint, in the format: s3://<bucket_name>.s3.amazonaws.com/<directory> For example: `s3://testchbackups.s3.amazonaws.com/backups/ Where:
   • testchbackups is the name of the S3 bucket to export backups to.
   • backups is an optional subdirectory.
2. AWS access key and secret. (for key/secret-based authentication. We also support role based authentication which is covered in the UI experience above)

2. Access HMAC key and HMAC secret.

Backup / Restore to AWS S3 Bucket
