### Backups using etcd-manager
## Backup and restore using etcd-manager
## Taking backups
Backups are done periodically and before cluster modifications using [etcd-manager](etcd_administration.md)
(introduced in kops 1.12). Backups for both the `main` and `events` etcd clusters
are stored in object storage (like S3) together with the cluster configuration.
### Volume backups (legacy etcd)
If you are running your cluster in legacy etcd mode (without etcd-manager),
backups can be done through snapshots of the etcd volumes.
You can for example use CloudWatch to trigger an AWS Lambda with a defined schedule (e.g. once per
hour). The Lambda will then create a new snapshot of all etcd volumes. A complete
guide on how to setup automated snapshots can be found [here](https://serverlesscode.com/post/lambda-schedule-ebs-snapshot-backups/).
Note: this is one of many examples on how to do scheduled snapshots.

earlier. Details about creating a volume from a snapshot can be found in the
