Hi, I need a help to understand the process of the practice test of backup and restore (lecon 129 of the CKA course).
The etcd is running on a pod in the controlplane. But in the solution, the backup command is executed in the controlplane directly not on the pod? How is this possible? Shoud’nt we have to run the backup on the pod in the mount volume? I don’t see how running the snapshot on the node directly does work. Thank in advance.

When you execute the command you need to specify the endpoint, like here, for example:
