I could not fine the backup from other host in that post .
We could provide –endpoints=https://[127.0.0.1]:2379 or even skip it . we don’t have to mention endpoint if we are taking backup from same master node. Right ?
but how can we take backup and restore from other host?

scp it

or install etcd client in master

Hi @Malayamanas Panda thanks for your tip … when you scp it … what would be the user to use?

run id or whoami command in both systems , it could have been already taken care with ssh authorized_keys , key based authentication between master and workers nodes. Otherwise you can configure yourself .
