Chapter 2. Creating Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform backup resources

Procedure

2. Navigate to Operators Installed Operators.
3. Select your Ansible Automation Platform Operator deployment.
4. Go to your All Instances tab, and click Create New.

   Note

   When creating the Ansible Automation Platform Backup resource it also creates backup resources for each of the nested components that are enabled.

6. In the Name field, enter a name for the backup.

   apiVersion: aap.ansible.com/v1alpha1
   kind: AnsibleAutomationPlatformBackup
   metadata:
     name: backup
     namespace: aap
   spec:
     no_log: true
     deployment_name: aap
