Explore and validate recovery points
NetBackup version 10.0 onwards supports recovery of Kubernetes assets using restore from snapshot and restore from backup copy operations.
Note:
After recovery, the newly created namespaces, persistent volumes, and other resources get new system-generated UIDs.
NetBackup helps you to perform backup image validation through complete or incomplete state of the backup copy in the Kubernetes workload. NetBackup does not let you run a restore operation from an incomplete backup copy.
The recovery point corresponding to Kubernetes namespace consists of multiple images. The recovery point may be incomplete as the copy for some of the images might not be available. Such recovery points are marked as incomplete.
To perform validation of recovery point
- On the left, click Kubernetes, under Workloads
- In the Namespaces tab, click the namespace of the asset that you want to recover.
- Click the Recovery points tab.
- The Recovery points tab shows you all the recovery points with the date, time, and copies of the backup.
Click the number of copies button next to the recovery point, to view the location, default copy, copy type, and complete state.
Complete state helps you to validate the selected recovery point to run the restore operation.
There can be multiple reasons for incomplete backup copy, backup in progress, image expiration, hardware failure, or network communication issues.
