Restoring Kubernetes Applications In Place

You can restore Kubernetes applications to the same cluster (in place).

Procedure

1. From the navigation pane, go to Protect > Kubernetes.

   The Applications tab appears.

2. On the Application groups tab, in the row for the application group that you want to restore, click the action button , and then click Restore.

   The Select restore type page appears.

3. Click Full application.

   The Restore page appears.

4. Select the applications to restore.

5. To select a specific backup copy to restore from, do the following:

   By default, Commvault restores content from the first available, valid backup copy that it finds.

   1. In the upper-right corner of the page, click Settings.

      The Settings dialog box appears.

   2. From the MediaAgent list, select the access node that contains the backup copy.

   3. From the Source list, select the backup copy.

   4. Click Save.

6. Click Restore.

   The Restore options dialog box appears.

7. For Type, select In place.

8. From the Access node list, select the access node to perform the restore.

   For optimal performance, select an access node that has low latency to the Kubernetes cluster and the backup copy.

9. To delete and overwrite existing data, move the Unconditionally overwrite if it already exists toggle key to the right, and then click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

   If any data matching the restore data exists in the destination, Commvault deletes the existing data before starting the restore process.

10. To use resource modifiers to add, delete, and modify fields in the Kubernetes resource YAMLs that you restore, under Advanced options, do the following:

    • To use an existing resource modifier from either the source or destination cluster, select the resource modifier.

    • To specify a new resource modifier or to change an existing modifier, click Edit Modifiers.

    For more information about resource modifiers, see Modifying Fields in Restored Kubernetes Resource YAMLs.

11. Click Submit.

What to Do Next

If you restored files or folders to a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) that is attached to a running pod, an application restart might be required to access the newly restored data in the application.
