Backup and Restore Stateful Workloads using Velero and Restic
This is quick post to summarise using Velero to backup your stateful workloads running on Kubernetes without the use of cloud provider plugin to snapshot the persistent volumes. The current setup I’ve got a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid cluster provisioned with the Guestbook application installed into a namespace called (imaginatively) guestbook. I’ve also added some random comments to the guestbook so we have some data to backup from the persistent volume.
