 ## Steps
 
-1. Connect to a master node
+1. Connect to the admin node for either `staging` or `production`. See the inventory `ocp` for produduction, `ocp-stg` for staging. The hostname is in the group `ocp-ci-management` or `ocp-stg-ci-management`.
 
 ```
-oc debug node/<node_name>
+ssh <admin-node>
 ```
 
-2. Chroot to the /host directory on the containers filesystem
+2. Become the ocp administrator user, check the hostvars associated with the host in the previous step.
 
 ```
-sh-4.2# chroot /host
+sudo su <ocp-admin-user>
 ```
 
-3. Run the cluster-backup.sh script and pass in the location to save the backup to
+3. Run the cluster backup script:
 
 ```
-sh-4.4# /usr/local/bin/cluster-backup.sh /home/core/assets/backup
+~/bin/ocp-etcd-backup
 ```
 
-4. Chown the backup files to be owned by user `core` and group `core`
-
-```
-chown -R core:core /home/core/assets/backup
-```
-
-5. From the admin machine, see inventory group: `ocp-ci-management`, become the Openshift service account, see the inventory hostvars for the host identified in the previous step and note the `ocp_service_account` variable.
-
-```
-ssh <host>
-sudo su - <ocp_service_account>
-```
-
-6. Copy the files down to the admin machine.
-
-```
-scp -i <ssh_key> core@<node_name>:/home/core/assets/backup/* ocp_backups/
-```
+4. This will save an etcd snapshot in the `~/ocp_backups` location.
 
+5. These snapshots are taken nightly at `02:00 UTC` and rsynced to a backup storage device.
