Backup And Restore Quickstart

This path validates the backup and restore chain: create an AppBackup from a source namespace, then create an AppRestore from that backup to a target cluster.

Prerequisites​

  • At least one registered Ready cluster.
  • At least one Ready storage repository.
  • A demo namespace such as demo-bookinfo.
  • For cross-cluster restore, the target cluster can read the same object storage.

Create A Backup​

Open Backup And Restore / Application Backup.

Application backup list

Click Create Backup and select the source cluster and namespaces first. After a cluster is selected, namespaces are loaded from that cluster. Scroll down in the dialog to configure backup type, TTL, storage repository, and advanced resource filters.

Create A Restore​

Open Backup And Restore / Application Restore.

Application restore list

Click Create Restore, expand a backup source, and select one completed backup history. Scroll down to configure restore name, conflict policy, namespace mapping, and advanced restore options.
