    • Previously, a backup was created every time the MicroShift service started. These backups caused system backups to fail. Now, automated backups only occur on full system boots.
    • Bug Fix

      This is a clone of issue OCPBUGS-22322. The following is the description of the original issue:

      Description of problem:

      If MicroShift service is restarted, it will create a backup for current boot (based on version file which contains that boot id).
      
      Because microshift does not update particular backup - it only creates new ones and deletes old ones, this behaviour will prevent a proper backup from being created when the host reboots.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

       

      How reproducible:

      100%

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. MicroShift svc is running
      2. Note the contents of /var/lib/microshift/version
      3. Check the contents of /var/lib/microshift-backups
      4. Restart MicroShift svc
      5. Check the contents of /var/lib/microshift-backups - new backup appeared
      6. Restart MicroShift host
      7. Check MicroShift's logs (sudo journalctl -u microshift -b 0): log is present "Backup already exists"
      

      Actual results:

      MicroShift creates backup on svc restart without host reboot which prevent proper backup from being created on system boot

      Expected results:

      MicroShift does not create backups without system reboot.
      
      For example, if boot_id obtained from /var/lib/microshift/version is the same as current boot ID, then skip the backup. It should only be created for past, previous boot
