MarkLogic Server on Kubernetes

When backing up MarkLogic to the file system, a dedicated volume should be allocated for each MarkLogic host. This can be done by adding "additional volumes" in the values.yaml file:

## Specify additional list of persistent volume claims
additionalVolumeClaimTemplates:
   - metadata:
      name: "backup-dir"
    spec:
      accessModes:
        - ReadWriteOnce
      resources:
        requests:
          storage: 10Gi
## specify additional list of volumes
additionalVolumes:
   - name: "backup-dir"
    emptyDir: {}
## specify additional list of volumeMounts
additionalVolumeMounts:
  - name: "backup-dir"
    mountPath: "/space"

Once the values.yaml file is modified, /space can be used as the backup directory for backing up and restoring a database using the procedures described in the MarkLogic documentation.
