Backup & DR

Purpose

Recovery Theatre hub — backup stats plus shortcuts to Velero, restore, snapshots, DR, and backup wizards.

When to use it

  • See total, completed, and failed backups at a glance
  • Launch Velero, Restore Wizard, or Backup Wizard
  • Open Disaster Recovery plans and DR settings (RPO/RTO)
  • Start protection when no backups are detected yet

How to get there

  • Route: /backup-dr
  • Nav: Monitoring → Backup & DR (display name Recovery Theatre)
  • Related: /velero, /restore-wizard, /backup-wizard, /disaster-recovery

Operate from the console (UX)

  1. Open /backup-dr from the sidebar, workspace switcher, or command palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K).
  2. Read the PageHead / deck line — confirm it matches: Recovery Theatre hub — backup stats plus shortcuts to Velero, restore, snapshots, DR, and backup wizards.
  3. Prefer dry-run / plan when the UI offers it before mutating production.
  4. Start the wizard or job; watch progress and history panels.
  5. Confirm completion on the target inventory (VMs, snapshots, backup store).
  6. Empty / fail: No data → check auth, namespace filter, and that required operators (KubeVirt/CDI/monitoring) are installed; purpose was: Recovery Theatre hub — backup stats plus shortcuts to Velero, restore, snapshots, DR, and backup wiz.
  7. Success: Live inventory or job progress matches the deck line; you can navigate to a related center without re-auth.
