BackupLocation type

The following are BackupLocation OADP APIs:

Table 2. BackupLocation
Property	Type	Description
`velero`	*velero.BackupStorageLocationSpec	Location to store volume snapshots, as described in Backup Storage Location.
`bucket`	*CloudStorageLocation	Automates creation of a bucket at some cloud storage providers for use as a backup storage location.

Important

The bucket parameter is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope.
