Database backup scope

The database portion of backup scope covers the flightctl schema and its data tables. For a single archive that includes the database, PKI Secrets, and configuration, use flightctl-backup.

When you use database-only tools, back up the flightctl database, including the following:

  • Data: Devices, fleets, organizations, templates, and related records
  • Schema and structure: The database architecture and table definitions that match your installed Red Hat Edge Manager release
  • Security metadata: Database users, roles, and access permissions required for the application
