Restores

Restore operation will create a new Redis instance with new credentials

By default, every redis instance creates a backup once a day or at the time you specified.

Please visit the (Backup documentation for more information.

You can list all the backups that are available with the following command:

kubectl -n <your-namespace> get vshnredisbackups

BACKUP ID   DATABASE INSTANCE   BACKUP TIME
ddy2d749    redis-app1-prod     2023-07-25T22:48:03Z
f22ag4fc    redis-app1-prod     2023-07-24T22:48:03Z
34996c63    redis-app1-prod     2023-07-23T22:48:03Z
ag83ae9g    redis-app1-prod     2023-07-22T22:48:03Z

This will list all the backup available to you. You can then restore the backup to a new instance, by using the following restore configuration:

apiVersion: vshn.appcat.vshn.io/v1
kind: VSHNRedis
metadata:
  name: redis-app2-prod
  namespace: <your-namespace>
spec:
  parameters:
    ...
    restore:
      claimName: redis-app1-prod (1)
      backupName: f22ag4fc (2)
    ...

1	The claimName of the original redis instance to restore from
2	The Backup ID which you want to restore

This configuration will spin up a new redis instance and will restore the specified backup to your instance. In the example above, the new redis instance will be called redis-app2-prod and will be running the restored data from the redis instance redis-app1-prod using the backup f22ag4fc tat was taken at 2023-07-24T22:48:03Z
