How to backup central database in RHACS

Issue

Data backups are a crucial aspect of managing Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes. These backups serve as a safety net, ready to restore your data in the event of an infrastructure disaster or data corruption.
One effective way to ensure the safety of your Central database is by configuring automatic backups. This can be achieved by integrating your system with Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage. These cloud storage solutions provide a secure and reliable way to store your backups.

For more control over your backups, you can opt for on-demand backups using the roxctl CLI. This Command Line Interface allows you to trigger backups of the Central database as needed. It's a versatile tool that puts you in the driver's seat when it comes to data protection.

A Central database backup is comprehensive and includes crucial components such as RHACS configurations, resources, events, and certificates. This all-encompassing backup ensures that, in the face of an unexpected incident like database failure or data corruption, you can recover and restore your Central database to its previous fully functional state.
