Restoring a backup of Cloudera Control Plane

The Backup Manager in the Cloudera Data Services on premises Management Console helps you to restore Kubernetes namespaces and resources on Cloudera Embedded Container Service (ECS) and OpenShift Container Platform (OCP). When you start the restore event for a backup, Data Recovery Service (DRS) initiates the restore event based on the chosen backup, assigns an ID called restoreCrn to the restore event, deletes the existing resources and data, and restores the resources and data from the backup.

Ensure that the following prerequisites are complete:
  • You must have the PowerUser role.
  • For OCP, ensure that a VolumeSnapshotClass is installed with a CSI driver that matches the CSI driver for the storage class used.
  1. Go to the Cloudera Data Services on premises > Cloudera Management Console > Backup Manager > Control Plane page.
    The Backup and Restore Manager page appears.
