+Note: In this case, the **ETCD** is running on the same server where we are running the commands (which is the *controlplane* node). As a result, the **--endpoint **argument is optional and can be ignored.

+The options **--cert, --cacert and --key** are mandatory to authenticate to the ETCD server to take the backup.
+
+If you want to take a backup of the ETCD service running on a different machine, you will have to provide the correct endpoint to that server (which is the IP Address and port of the etcd server with the **--endpoint **argument)

 # 4. Modify /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml
 
 Update ETCD POD to use the new hostPath directory `/var/lib/etcd-from-backup` by modifying the pod definition file at `/etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml`. When this file is updated, the ETCD pod is automatically re-created as this is a static pod placed under the `/etc/kubernetes/manifests` directory.
