I'm trying to enable GKE backup on a cluster.
Some details on the cluster:
I really followed the docs step by step to enable GKE backup.
I also setup GKE Backup on a few testing clusters and documented the whole process of enabling it and getting it working.
When I try enable the GKE backup on the cluster's settings in GKE I get this error:
"Etcd alias ip must be enabled for Backup for GKE addon"
See screenshot aswell:
I know this error seems pretty self explanatory. Implying I would have to recreate the cluster with etcd-alias IP enabled.
I'm just hoping there is some solution that does not involve recreating all my clusters just to enable GKE backup.
This would be a huge amount of effort to enable etc-alias IP on all my clusters, also there was nothing mentioned about this in the documentation: https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/add-on/backup-for-gke/how-to/install
The only other info I could find on the topic was this stackoverflow post:
One suggestion was to wait a bit. Which I've tried (waited 24hours already ) with no success.
Thanks for your help.
Hello timogoosen,
Welcome to Google Cloud Community!
It would be best to be in touch with the Cloud Platform Support so they can further inspect your project.

Well suddenly it worked. After waiting the weekend.
So for anyone else reading this.
Just wait a few more days and try again 🙂
