Troubleshooting

Following commands are very handy when troubleshooting backup and restore operations:

1. Checking logs for a backup or restore resource:

2. Backup logs

   velero backup logs <backup-name> -n <velero-namespace>
   

3. Restore logs

   velero restore logs <restore-name> -n <velero-namespace>
   

4. Download Completed Backups:

 velero backup download <backup-name> -n <velero-namespace>

1. Describe backups or restores: The --details flag in the command gives the list of all the resources backedup/restored.

2. Describe backup

    velero describe backup <backup-name> -n <velero-namespace>
    OR
    velero describe backup <backup-name> -n <velero-namespace> --details
   

3. Describe restore

    velero describe restore <restore-name> -n <velero-namespace>
    OR
    velero describe restore <restore-name> -n <velero-namespace> --details
