Description Ryan Howe 2016-01-29 20:21:17 UTC

Needing Back up and Restore procedures/feature to restore a single project. 

-Looking for a feature that would make it easy to restore a whole project to its original state if deleted. 
   - Either restoring from past ectd backups or from a separate back up of the project.

Currently `oc export` requires addition steps to restore a project back to its original state.

Comment 1 Clayton Coleman 2016-02-07 19:16:18 UTC

What steps do you considered required above and beyond oc export?

Comment 2 Ryan Howe 2016-03-28 19:13:19 UTC

Using just `oc export`  will not work as a back up when dealing objects that reference images that have been build and pushed the internal registry.  

We are looking for a feature that would allow a system admin to backup an existing project and restore it under a different namespace or different environment.

Using wordpress/mysql as an example, the current workflow for project backup and restore goes something like this:

- create project
- create pvc for mysql
- create pvc for wordpress
- deploy mysql pod
- deploy wordpress pod
- export mysql pod yaml
- (update mysql-pod.yaml with the passwords/usernames from the exported pod yaml)
- delete project

- create second project
- create new pvc for mysql                        
- create new pvc for wordpress
- find/verify the new mysql pv
- copy everything from the old mysql pv to the new mysql pv
- deploy previously exported mysql pod yaml
- deploy wordpress pod
