Velero - Restore

Restoring backups:

NOTE: When restoring backups Velero will not restore objects that are already existing, so whatever you need to restore must be deleted first.

If you are restoring pods from a deployment/statefulset/daemonsets/etc make sure to delete them too. Velero will not delete them automatically and will hang.

Manual:

1. Clear up any resources you wish to restore
2. Run velero restore create uptimekuma1 --from-backup uptimekuma --restore-volumes=true

From Schedule:

1. Clear up any resources you wish to restore
2. Run: velero restore create --from-schedule general --restore-volumes=true. Optionally add: --include-namespaces postgresql

Troubleshooting

Velero Restore has hanged

Make sure that it is really hanged up, by checking the --details, there is a chance it is just working.

If it is really hanged, follow these steps:

1. RUN: kubectl rollout restart -n velero deploy velero - See if it continues now, if not continue.
2. RUN: kubectl rollout restart -n velero daemonset restic - See if it continues now, if not continue.
3. Delete the restore with velero delete restore RESTORE_NAME and confirm the prompt.
   1. After this, delete all the resources that you were trying to restore
   2. Create a new restore.
