Dear All … can we restore ETCD without specifying --data-dir option without any problems? Or it is advisable to always use --data-dir option to restore on other path and then change etcd pod/service params?

John Paul:
It is advisable and safe mehod

Nitin:
What if in the exam --data-dir option is not asked for? can we just restore as is?

Sase:
It is required when they ask you to use else no need.
