Create DataSync And ResourceSync Policies

Disaster recovery usually needs two sync policies. DataSync protects PVC data. ResourceSync protects Kubernetes resources.

Policy Types

Type	Purpose
DataSync	Periodically backup and restore PVC data to the target cluster
ResourceSync	Periodically synchronize workloads, services, ingress, config, and secrets
AutoBackup	Periodic application backup, not DR instance sync

CRD Example

apiVersion: testudo.softcdata.com/v1
kind: DisasterPolicy
metadata:
  name: datasync-5m
spec:
  type: DataSync
  state: Enabled
  schedule: "*/5 * * * *"
---
apiVersion: testudo.softcdata.com/v1
kind: DisasterPolicy
metadata:
  name: resourcesync-5m
spec:
  type: ResourceSync
  state: Enabled
  schedule: "*/5 * * * *"

Policies do not protect applications by themselves. They must be referenced by a configuration or instance.
