Once the DBS backup repository is set up, an Application Operator (AO) must enable backup service for a DBS
DBCluster.
Enable backup services for DBS
To enable backup services for DBS, create a DBS BackupPlan resource in the same namespace.
The backupRetainDays must be set to the number of days after which a backup can be
automatically deleted.
Once BackupPlan is created, DBS will start automatic backups once per day. The available recovery window is viewed in the BackupPlan's
status.recoveryWindow field.
