You can restore an entire Kubernetes namespace or other cluster-level entity in place.
Caution
Be cautious when performing in-place restore of namespaces/resources such as cephclusters, csidrivers, and mutatingwebhookconfigurations which could impact functioning of cluster.
Procedure
-
From the navigation pane, go to Protect > Kubernetes.
The Applications tab appears.
-
On the Application groups tab, in the row for the application group that contains the content that you want to restore, click the action button
, and then click Restore. The Select restore type page appears.
-
Click Namespace and cluster level.
The Restore page appears.
-
Select the content to restore:
-
To restore the entire cluster, select all namespaces, and then click Restore full cluster.
-
To restore specific namespaces, select the namespaces, and then click Restore.
The Restore options dialog box appears.
-
-
For Type, select In place.
-
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.
-
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.
Important
When you enable the Unconditionally overwrite if it already exists setting to restore a system namespace (kube-* or openshift-*) or applications from a system namespace in place, Commvault does not delete the namespace and does not overwrite existing applications or orphan entities. Only missing applications and resources are restored.
-
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.
