Restore

Portworx Backup provides robust capabilities to restore backups across various scenarios, ensuring data recovery and application continuity. Restoring data in Portworx Backup allows users to recover their applications, Kubernetes namespaces, and virtual machines from previously created backups. This process is crucial for disaster recovery, cross-cloud migrations, and maintaining business continuity.

Key restore features

  • Application restore – recover applications and their persistent data in Kubernetes.
  • Namespace restore – restore an entire Kubernetes namespace with all associated resources.
  • VM restore – recover virtual machines from backups, ensuring minimal downtime.

Portworx Backup supports local snapshot restore from version 2.8.3 onwards to allow the users to recover data quickly within the same cluster where the snapshot was originally created. Unlike full backup restores, local snapshot restores leverage on-cluster storage snapshots to provide fast recovery times without transferring large volumes of data.

note

To restore local snapshots backed up by parallel schedules, please contact Pure Storage support team.

The following topics explain how you can restore different types of backups using Portworx Backup web console:

📄️ Restore deleted object lock enabled backups

This topic provides instructions for restoring or recovering object lock enabled backups that were deleted due to the deletion of their associated backup location. It explains how to recreate the backup location by specifying the object lock enabled bucket and other relevant cloud settings such as encryption key, region, and endpoint URL. Once the backup location is recreated, the recovered backups will appear in the Portworx Backup dashboard under the Activity Timeline.
