Restore Persistent Volume on Kubernetes

The restore volume feature in MFKE lets you restore data in a Persistent Volume (PV) using existing PV snapshots. The restore process is fully native to Kubernetes — you simply configure a PVC based on an existing snapshot, then update your application's PVC or volumeMount configuration to use the newly created PVC. See the Kubernetes documentation for reference: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volume-pvc-datasource

To restore a volume, configure and apply a PVC YAML file as follows:

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: <new-pvc-name>
  namespace: <namespace>
spec:
  dataSource:
    name: new-snapshot-test
    kind: VolumeSnapshot
    apiGroup: snapshot.storage.k8s.io
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 20Gi

After applying, configure this PVC in your application as desired.
