Is it mandatory to schedule backup on all cluster nodes?

[skanchalwar21]

We have 3 node cluster, planning to enable backup for. Once we enable Dynatrace will archive backup in the specified path & file. That file we need to take regular backup with the help of our internal backup procedure if I'm not wrong. My question is, if the backup on all nodes is similar, just wondering if it is mandatory to take backup on all the cluster nodes.

Hello Sandeep,

There is a cluster-wide backup/restore mechanism introduced in Dynatrace update , version 140 introduced on 27th March 2018(refer link below)

So you do not need to worry about backup of individual nodes.

Please let me know if you need further information on the same.

Thanks
