Backup and Restore Elasticsearch database using KubeStash
KubeStash allows you to backup and restore Elasticsearch databases. It supports backups for Elasticsearch instances running in Standalone, and HA cluster configurations. KubeStash makes managing your Elasticsearch backups and restorations more straightforward and efficient.
This guide will give you an overview how you can take backup and restore your Elasticsearch databases using Kubestash.
Before You Begin
- At first, you need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the
kubectlcommand-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. If you do not already have a cluster, you can create one by usingMinikubeorKind. - Install
KubeDBin your cluster following the steps here. - Install
KubeStashin your cluster following the steps here. - Install KubeStash
kubectlplugin following the steps here. - If you are not familiar with how KubeStash backup and restore Elasticsearch databases, please check the following guide here.
You should be familiar with the following KubeStash concepts:
To keep everything isolated, we are going to use a separate namespace called demo throughout this tutorial.
$ kubectl create ns demo
namespace/demo created
Note: YAML files used in this tutorial are stored in docs/guides/elasticsearch/backup/kubestash/logical/examples directory of kubedb/docs repository.
Backup Elasticsearch
KubeStash supports backups for Elasticsearch instances across different configurations, including Standalone and HA Cluster setups. In this demonstration, we’ll focus on a Elasticsearch database using HA cluster configuration. The backup and restore process is similar for Standalone configuration.
This section will demonstrate how to take logical backup of a Elasticsearch database. Here, we are going to deploy a Elasticsearch database using KubeDB. Then, we are going to back up the database at the application level to a GCS bucket. Finally, we will restore the entire Elasticsearch database.
Deploy Sample Elasticsearch Database
Let’s deploy a sample Elasticsearch database and insert some data into it.
Create Elasticsearch CR:
Below is the YAML of a sample Elasticsearch CR that we are going to create for this tutorial:
apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1
kind: Elasticsearch
metadata:
name: es-quickstart
namespace: demo
spec:
version: xpack-8.15.0
enableSSL: true
replicas: 2
storageType: Durable
storage:
storageClassName: standard
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi
deletionPolicy: Delete
Create the above Elasticsearch CR,
$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.12.18/docs/guides/elasticsearch/backup/kubestash/logical/examples/es-quickstart.yaml
elasticsearch.kubedb.com/es-quickstart created
KubeDB will deploy a Elasticsearch database according to the above specification. It will also create the necessary Secrets and Services to access the database.
Let’s check if the database is ready to use,
$ kubectl get es -n demo es-quickstart
NAME VERSION STATUS AGE
es-quickstart xpack-8.15.0 Ready 3h
The database is Ready. Verify that KubeDB has created a Secret and a Service for this database using the following commands,
$ kubectl get secret -n demo
NAME TYPE DATA AGE
es-quickstart-apm-system-cred kubernetes.io/basic-auth 2 3h35m
es-quickstart-beats-system-cred kubernetes.io/basic-auth 2 3h35m
es-quickstart-ca-cert kubernetes.io/tls 2 3h1m
es-quickstart-client-cert kubernetes.io/tls 3 3h1m
es-quickstart-config Opaque 1 3h1m
es-quickstart-elastic-cred kubernetes.io/basic-auth 2 3h35m
es-quickstart-http-cert kubernetes.io/tls 3 3h1m
es-quickstart-kibana-system-cred kubernetes.io/basic-auth 2 3h35m
es-quickstart-logstash-system-cred kubernetes.io/basic-auth 2 3h35m
es-quickstart-remote-monitoring-user-cred kubernetes.io/basic-auth 2 3h35m
es-quickstart-transport-cert kubernetes.io/tls 3 3h1m
$ kubectl get service -n demo -l=app.kubernetes.io/instance=es-quickstart
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
es-quickstart ClusterIP 10.128.185.239 <none> 9200/TCP 3h2m
es-quickstart-master ClusterIP None <none> 9300/TCP 3h2m
es-quickstart-pods ClusterIP None <none> 9200/TCP 3h2m
Here, we have to use service es-quickstart and secret es-quickstart-elastic-cred to connect with the database. KubeDB creates an AppBinding CR that holds the necessary information to connect with the database.
Verify AppBinding:
Verify that the AppBinding has been created successfully using the following command,
$ kubectl get appbindings -n demo
NAME TYPE VERSION AGE
es-quickstart kubedb.com/elasticsearch 8.15.0 3h6m
Let’s check the YAML of the above AppBinding,
$ kubectl get appbindings -n demo es-quickstart -o yaml

KubeStash uses the AppBinding CR to connect with the target database. It requires the following two fields to set in AppBinding’s .spec section.
Here,
.spec.clientConfig.service.namespecifies the name of the Service that connects to the database..spec.secretspecifies the name of the Secret that holds necessary credentials to access the database..spec.typespecifies the types of the app that this AppBinding is pointing to. KubeDB generated AppBinding follows the following format:<app group>/<app resource type>.
Insert Sample Data:
Now, we are going to insert some data into Elasticsearch.
$ kubectl get secret -n demo es-quickstart-elastic-cred -o jsonpath='{.data.username}' | base64 -d
elastic
$ kubectl get secret -n demo es-quickstart-elastic-cred -o jsonpath='{.data.password}' | base64 -d
tS$k!2IBI.ASI7FJ
$ kubectl port-forward -n demo svc/es-quickstart 9200
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:9200 -> 9200
Forwarding from [::1]:9200 -> 9200
$ curl -XPOST -k --user 'elastic:tS$k!2IBI.ASI7FJ' "https://localhost:9200/info/_doc?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
"Company": "AppsCode Inc",
"Product": "KubeDB"
}
'
Now, let’s verify that the index have been created successfully.
$ curl -XGET -k --user 'elastic:tS$k!2IBI.ASI7FJ' "https://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v&s=index&pretty"
health status index uuid pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size

Also, let’s verify the data in the indexes:
curl -XGET -k --user 'elastic:tS$k!2IBI.ASI7FJ' "https://localhost:9200/info/_search?pretty"
{
"took" : 79,
"timed_out" : false,
"_shards" : {
"total" : 1,
"successful" : 1,
"skipped" : 0,
"failed" : 0
},
"hits" : {
"total" : {
"value" : 1,
"relation" : "eq"
},
"max_score" : 1.0,
"hits" : [
{
"_index" : "info",
"_type" : "_doc",

"_score" : 1.0,
"_source" : {
"Company" : "AppsCode Inc",
"Product" : "KubeDB"
}
}
]
}
}
Now, we are ready to backup the database.
Prepare Backend
We are going to store our backed up data into a S3 bucket. We have to create a Secret with necessary credentials and a BackupStorage CR to use this backend. If you want to use a different backend, please read the respective backend configuration doc from here.
Create Secret:
Let’s create a secret called s3-secret with access credentials to our desired S3 bucket,
$ echo -n '<your-access-key>' > AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
$ echo -n '<your-secret-key>' > AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
$ kubectl create secret generic -n demo s3-secret \
--from-file=./AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID \
--from-file=./AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
secret/s3-secret created
Create BackupStorage:
Now, create a BackupStorage using this secret. Below is the YAML of BackupStorage CR we are going to create,
apiVersion: storage.kubestash.com/v1alpha1
kind: BackupStorage
metadata:
name: s3-storage
namespace: demo
spec:
storage:
provider: s3
s3:
endpoint: us-east-1.linodeobjects.com
bucket: esbackup
region: us-east-1
prefix: elastic
secretName: s3-secret
usagePolicy:
allowedNamespaces:
from: All
default: true
deletionPolicy: Delete
Let’s create the BackupStorage we have shown above,
$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.12.18/docs/guides/elasticsearch/backup/kubestash/logical/examples/backupstorage.yaml
backupstorage.storage.kubestash.com/s3-storage created
Now, we are ready to backup our database to our desired backend.
Create RetentionPolicy:
Now, let’s create a RetentionPolicy to specify how the old Snapshots should be cleaned up.
Below is the YAML of the RetentionPolicy object that we are going to create,
apiVersion: storage.kubestash.com/v1alpha1
kind: RetentionPolicy
metadata:
name: demo-retention
namespace: demo
spec:
default: true
failedSnapshots:
last: 2
maxRetentionPeriod: 2mo
successfulSnapshots:
last: 5
usagePolicy:
allowedNamespaces:
from: All
Let’s create the above RetentionPolicy,
$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.12.18/docs/guides/elasticsearch/backup/kubestash/logical/examples/retentionpolicy.yaml
retentionpolicy.storage.kubestash.com/demo-retention created
Backup
We have to create a BackupConfiguration targeting respective es-quickstart Elasticsearch database. Then, KubeStash will create a CronJob for each session to take periodic backup of that database.
At first, we need to create a secret with a Restic password for backup data encryption.
Create Secret:
Let’s create a secret called encrypt-secret with the Restic password,
$ echo -n 'changeit' > RESTIC_PASSWORD
$ kubectl create secret generic -n demo encrypt-secret \
--from-file=./RESTIC_PASSWORD \
secret "encrypt-secret" created
Create BackupConfiguration:
Below is the YAML for BackupConfiguration CR to take logical backup of the es-quickstart database that we have deployed earlier,
apiVersion: core.kubestash.com/v1alpha1
kind: BackupConfiguration
metadata:
name: es-quickstart-backup
namespace: demo
spec:

.spec.sessions[*].schedulespecifies that we want to backup at5 minutesinterval..spec.targetrefers to the targetedes-quickstartElasticsearch database that we created earlier..spec.sessions[*].addon.tasks[*].name[*]specifies that thelogical-backuptasks will be executed.
Let’s create the BackupConfiguration CR that we have shown above,
$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.12.18/docs/guides/elasticsearch/kubestash/logical/examples/backupconfiguration.yaml
backupconfiguration.core.kubestash.com/es-quickstart-backup created
Verify Backup Setup Successful
If everything goes well, the phase of the BackupConfiguration should be Ready. The Ready phase indicates that the backup setup is successful. Let’s verify the Phase of the BackupConfiguration,
$ kubectl get backupconfiguration -n demo
NAME PHASE PAUSED AGE
es-quickstart-backup Ready 2m50s
Additionally, we can verify that the Repository specified in the BackupConfiguration has been created using the following command,
$ kubectl get repo -n demo
NAME INTEGRITY SNAPSHOT-COUNT SIZE PHASE LAST-SUCCESSFUL-BACKUP AGE
s3-elasticsearch-repo 0 0 B Ready 3m
KubeStash keeps the backup for Repository YAMLs. If we navigate to the S3 bucket, we will see the Repository YAML stored in the elastic/es directory.
Verify CronJob:
It will also create a CronJob with the schedule specified in spec.sessions[*].scheduler.schedule field of BackupConfiguration CR.
Verify that the CronJob has been created using the following command,
$ kubectl get cronjob -n demo
NAME SCHEDULE SUSPEND ACTIVE LAST SCHEDULE AGE
trigger-es-quickstart-backup-frequent-backup */5 * * * * 0 2m45s 3m25s
Verify BackupSession:
KubeStash triggers an instant backup as soon as the BackupConfiguration is ready. After that, backups are scheduled according to the specified schedule.
$ kubectl get backupsession -n demo -w
NAME INVOKER-TYPE INVOKER-NAME PHASE DURATION AGE
es-quickstart-backup-frequent-backup-1726655113 BackupConfiguration es-quickstart-backup Succeeded 22s 2m7s
We can see from the above output that the backup session has succeeded. Now, we are going to verify whether the backed up data has been stored in the backend.
Verify Backup:
Once a backup is complete, KubeStash will update the respective Repository CR to reflect the backup. Check that the repository es-quickstart-backup has been updated by the following command,
$ kubectl get repository -n demo
NAME INTEGRITY SNAPSHOT-COUNT SIZE PHASE LAST-SUCCESSFUL-BACKUP AGE
s3-elasticsearch-repo true 1 1.453 KiB Ready 2m20s 2m30s
At this moment we have one Snapshot. Run the following command to check the respective Snapshot which represents the state of a backup run for an application.
$ kubectl get snapshots -n demo -l=kubestash.com/repo-name=s3-elasticsearch-repo
NAME REPOSITORY SESSION SNAPSHOT-TIME DELETION-POLICY PHASE AGE
s3-elasticsearch-repo-es-quickstckup-frequent-backup-1726655113 s3-elasticsearch-repo frequent-backup 2024-09-18T10:25:23Z Delete Succeeded 8m
Note: KubeStash creates a
Snapshotwith the following labels:
kubestash.com/app-ref-kind: <target-kind>kubestash.com/app-ref-name: <target-name>kubestash.com/app-ref-namespace: <target-namespace>kubestash.com/repo-name: <repository-name>These labels can be used to watch only the
Snapshots related to our target Database orRepository.
If we check the YAML of the Snapshot, we can find the information about the backed up components of the Database.

KubeStash uses
multielasticdumpto perform backups of targetElasticsearchdatabases. Therefore, the component name for logical backups is set asdump.
Now, if we navigate to the S3 bucket, we will see the backed up data stored in the elastic/es/repository/v1/frequent-backup/dump directory. KubeStash also keeps the backup for Snapshot YAMLs, which can be found in the elastic/es/snapshots directory.
Note: KubeStash stores all dumped data encrypted in the backup directory, meaning it remains unreadable until decrypted.
Restore
In this section, we are going to restore the database from the backup we have taken in the previous section. We are going to deploy a new database and initialize it from the backup.
Now, we have to deploy the restored database similarly as we have deployed the original es-quickstart database.
Below is the YAML for Elasticsearch CR we are going deploy to initialize from backup,
apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1
kind: Elasticsearch
metadata:
name: es-cluster
namespace: demo
spec:
version: xpack-8.15.0
enableSSL: true
replicas: 2
storageType: Durable
storage:
storageClassName: standard
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi
deletionPolicy: Delete
Let’s create the above database,
$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.12.18/docs/guides/elasticsearch/backup/kubestash/logical/examples/restore-es.yaml
elasticsearch.kubedb.com/es-cluster created
If you check the database status, you will see it is stuck in Provisioning state.
$ kubectl get es -n demo restored-es
NAME VERSION STATUS AGE
es-cluster 8.15.0 Provisioning 61s
Create RestoreSession:
Now, we need to create a RestoreSession CR pointing to targeted Elasticsearch database.
Below, is the contents of YAML file of the RestoreSession object that we are going to create to restore backed up data into the newly created Elasticsearch database named es-cluster.
apiVersion: core.kubestash.com/v1alpha1
kind: RestoreSession
metadata:
name: es-cluster-restore
namespace: demo
spec:

repository: s3-elasticsearch-repo
encryptionSecret:

tasks:
- name: logical-backup-restore
Here,
.spec.targetrefers to the newly createdrestore-esElasticsearch object to where we want to restore backup data..spec.dataSource.repositoryspecifies the Repository object that holds the backed up data..spec.dataSource.snapshotspecifies to restore from latestSnapshot.
Let’s create the RestoreSession CRD object we have shown above,
$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.12.18/docs/guides/elasticsearch/backup/kubestash/logical/examples/restoresession.yaml
restoresession.core.kubestash.com/es-cluster-restore created
Once, you have created the RestoreSession object, KubeStash will create restore Job. Run the following command to watch the phase of the RestoreSession object,
$ watch kubectl get restoresession -n demo
Every 2.0s: kubectl get restores... AppsCode-PC-03: Wed Aug 21 10:44:05 2024
NAME REPOSITORY FAILURE-POLICY PHASE DURATION AGE
es-cluster-restore s3-elasticsearch-repo Succeeded 7s 116s
The Succeeded phase means that the restore process has been completed successfully.
Verify Restored Data:
In this section, we are going to verify whether the desired data has been restored successfully. We are going to connect to the database server and check whether the database and the table we created earlier in the original database are restored.
At first, check if the database has gone into Ready state by the following command,
$ kubectl get es -n demo es-cluster
NAME VERSION STATUS AGE
es-cluster xpack-8.15.0 Ready 6m14s
$ kubectl get secret -n demo es-cluster-elastic-cred -o jsonpath='{.data.username}' | base64 -d

Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:9200 -> 9200
Forwarding from [::1]:9200 -> 9200
Now, lets check either data restored in elasticsearch or not.
