Hi, I'm looking for a way to backup the most valuable parts of a fleet instance, such as queries, labels and policies. I've found that I can backup queries and labels with fleetctl get ... --yaml. To restore, I would use fleetctl apply -f FILE. However, for policies this approach does not work: fleetctl get has no option "policies" and the list of policies I can gather via the API is a JSON document which can not be restored with fleetctl. So, do I miss something? Is there anyone out there, who has solved this? Thanks.

Is taking a database backup an option?

I've a database backup. However, it is hard to extract the policies in a restorable format easy to restore, e.g. to a different fleet instance.

ah, you can use this Tines workflow to backup policies via API to Github: https://www.tines.com/library/stories/1188461/monitor-and-backup-fleet-policies-in-github?redirected-from=%2Flibrary%2Fstories%3Fs%3Dfleet
