Restoring a backup of Cloudera Control Plane

The Backup and Restore Manager in the Cloudera Private Cloud Data Services 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 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.
