Hey @john19880601 ,

You can backup daily to S3 on EKS, you just need to enable the `backup-s3` module in your Weaviate deployment and configure the required S3 environment variables (`BACKUP_S3_BUCKET`, etc.). You can then trigger backups via the API or client libraries (like Python).

To automate, I believe you can do a CronJob or an external scheduler to call the backup API daily.
