Ask an OpenShift Admin (Ep 39): Backup and disaster recovery

What’s your Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective? Do you have a disaster recovery plan for both OpenShift and the applications? Not sure what they are or how they're related? Let’s talk about what RPO and RTO are, their similarities and differences, and why you need to analyze your application priority to balance between resources and application availability.
In our last episode, we discussed high availability for OpenShift. Now we get to the big question: what happens if things go wrong? We’ll discuss disaster recovery scenarios and strategies, including some suggestions on what is, or isn’t, important to protect and recover.

Great talk on a high level, with some interesting information. What I would rather see is a concrete hands-on on how to backup a cluster with for example velero, git and etcd and retore that in different scenarios, like restoring an app, it's data or a completely destroyed cluster. Currently a full backup and restore to a fresh cluster leaves it unusable. How does on create a good strategy of backups to run these scenarios and what are typical settings and pitfalls.
