I recently wrote up my strategy for backing up local containers with Borg & Borgmatic here: https://docs.borgbase.com/setup/borg/containers/ https://docs.borgbase.com/setup/borg/containers/ Borgmatic will beautifully deal with DB dumps and there is a popular container image to run it. As for the cache ("retrieve some metadata about previous backup from S3"), you don't need to keep it locally. It can be restored from the backup repository. Hope some of this applies to your K8s setup.
