NetBackup™ Web UI Kubernetes Administrator's Guide

To run a restore from snapshot

1. On the left, click Kubernetes, under Workloads.
2. In the Namespace tab, click the namespace of the asset that you want to recover. Click the Recovery points tab.
3. The Recovery points tab shows you all the recovery points with the date, time, and copies of the backup. You can set filters to filter the displayed recovery points. Click the date in the Date column, to view the details of the recovery point. The Recovery points details dialog shows the resources that were backed up, like configmaps, secrets, persistent volumes, pod, and so on. For details about these resources, see https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/

   Note:

   On the NetBackup web UI, a new column Copies is added, under Recovery points tab of Kubernetes asset. This column displays the total number of copies.

   Note:

   By default, for a newly installed NetBackup version 10.0, the Copies column is visible to you.

   If NetBackup primary server is upgraded from version 9.1 to 10.0, and if you are an existing user who have already visited the Recovery points tab, then the Copies column is not visible to you.

   Note:

   You can enable the visibility of Copies column using Show or hide columns option available on Recovery points page.

4. Click Copies, click the ellipsis menu (three dots), in the row of the recovery point that have the Snapshot type and a complete copy to restore.
5. In the Recovery target page, target cluster is auto populated.

   Note:

   Alternate cluster restore is not supported for snapshot copy.

6. Under Specify destination namespace, select any of the following options for restore:

   • Use original namespace to use the original namespace backed up for restore. By default, this option is selected.

   • Use alternate namespace to use an alternate namespace for restore and then, click Next.

7. Under Select resource types to recover, select any of the following resource types to restore:

   • All resource types to recover all resource types. By default, this option is selected.

   • Recover selected resource types to recover only the selected resource types.

   Note:

   Select resource types to recover option is for advance users. If you are not careful in selecting the resources that you want to restore, you may not get a fully functional namespace after restoring.

8. Under Select Persistent volume claims to recover, select any of the following persistent volume claims to recover:

   • All Persistent volume claims to recover all persistent volume claims. By default, this option is selected.

   • Recover selected Persistent volume claims to recover selected persistent volume claims and then, click Next.

   Note:

   If you do not select any option in Recover selected resource types, then include empty persistent volume claims option is selected and no persistent volume claims is restored.

   Note:

   Restore only persistent volume enables toggle in the selected persistent volume claims to restore only the persistent volume. This does not create corresponding persistent volume claim.

9. In Recovery options page, click Start recovery to submit the recovery entry.
10. In the Activity monitor tab, click the Job ID, to view the restore job details.
