Velero#

Velero backs up and restores Kubernetes workloads and persistent volumes. Use it to recover from accidental deletion, data corruption, or cluster failure, and to migrate workloads between clusters.

Backups run on a schedule and are stored in an external storage backend. A default backup location is configured for your cluster.
