Restoring an application

You can restore an application from its details page.

About this task

Backups that are taken using an Inplace snapshot can be restored only to the same project, not to any new or different existing project. If you try to restore a project that is deleted from OpenShift®, then the restore to the same project with Inplace snapshot does not include PVCs.

Procedure

  1. In the menu, click Applications.
  2. In the Applications page, search and open your application that you want to restore.
  3. Click the ellipsis menu and select Restore.
    A Restore Application <application name> slide out pane gets displayed.
  4. In the Restore type section, you can choose to restore to a different project or restore PVCs to the same project.
    • If you select Restore to a different project, then enter the following details:
      • In the OpenShift project section, select New project or Existing project.
        • If you select New project, then enter the name of the project.
        • If you select Existing project, then select the project from the drop-down list.
          Note: The selected project gets deleted and its resources get replaced.
    • If you select Restore to same project, then go to the next step and select successful backup.
  5. Select a successful backup from the list.
    The successful backup list includes status, backup time, policy, size, and location. You can also use the Search to filter records.
    Note: Select a backup of this application that ran successfully. Most recent successful backups are shown first. Failed backups are not available to clone.
  6. In the PVCs section, select all PVCs or choose individual PVCs from the selected backup to restore.
  7. In the Missing resources section, select Include missing resources in restore to restore non-PVC application resources that are included in this backup but do not exist in this OpenShift project.
  8. Click Restore.
    A message appears informing that the restore of the application from its backup is in progress. The status of the backup record in the Backups tab is initially set to Restoring and then changes to Completed.
  9. Go to the application to confirm the success of the restore operation.
