Backing up and restoring OpenShift clusters
To protect persistent volumes and other OpenShift® resources that are attached to a cluster, create service level agreement (SLA) polices and create jobs for backup and restore operations in the IBM Spectrum® Protect Plus user interface.
Ensure that your OpenShift environment meets the system requirements in Container Backup Support requirements.
