Hi all,

I was also working at the backup subject lately. I was used the newest 
available version of Velero ( v1.0.0-beta.1).
Restic plugin for Velero still does not support the used in ONAP volume type 
(hostPath). Without backup of volumes Velero tool is just for backup only the 
configuration of the PODs. In my opinion such backup is useless.

Additionally after some tests I found following problems:


  1.  For success restore of one component you need to delete first this 
component – if the pods are existing (not working) restore is doing nothing.
  2.  When you delete the component with helm and after that restore is 
successful (with volume restored manually)  but helm does not know anything 
that deleted component exists in namespace. Thus any upgrade via helm is not 
possible anymore.
  3.  The same result of backup and restore via Velero tool (without volume 
backup) is possible just using helm delete and deploy once again.

Best regards,

Hi Vaibhav/Michael,

Are you right contacts from ONAP? If yes, could you please respond. Thank you.

I was able to install 0.11.0 Valero successfully. Ran few tests on backup and 
restore and looks good at namespace level objects. Having trouble taking backup 
of PVC. I also integrated with Restic to take PVC backup and see Restic 
controller running fine.  I’ve done annotations for storage volumes and 
followed the documentation, but, failing to take backup only when we have PVC.  
We are using gluster/heketi solution for our cluster. Restic supposed to take 
backup of almost any type of Kubernetes volume regardless of the underlying 
storage provider. Were you able to get PV backups working with Restic?

Subject: Velero-Heptio clarifications

Hi Michael/Vaibhav,

Good Morning. I’m from ECOMP-C Controller team working on Kubernetes Backup and 
Restore Solution POC and exploring the Velero-Heptio suitable solution. 
Shrikant mentioned ONAP also using the same solution and looking at your wiki 
page.

I noticed few things  as below. Can you please advise.

1.  Noticed that you are installing version 0.9.3.  from 0.11.0, Heptio Ark has 
become Velero . all ark cli and CRD api resources renamed to velero. Have you 
tried latest version?

  1.  The installation what you have doesn’t cover Persistent volume backup. 
Seeing Restic integration with Valero as an option.  Restic is not tied to a 
specific storage platform so might be a solution for AIC too. Have you started 
looking at this option too?
  2.  Instructions what you have and as well on the velero website looking to 
have “00-prereqs.yaml” to be installed and I couldn’t find this anywhere  in 
the latest velero repos . I continued to further on installation and didn’t see 
Valero getting installed. Looking thru and seems to be these are now bundled 
with release specific tar balls.


What is best time for you to reach out for any further questions?
