# Backups

We're using [Ark][1] for backing up Kubernetes config and GKE resources.

## Backup location

Cluster configuration (including all live resources) is backed up to [a Google
Cloud Storage container][3].

## Persistent volumes

Persistent volumes are just GCE disks. Thus, with the current config, Ark
creates volume snapshots as native [GCE disk snapshots][2].
