Velero

Velero is a tool that allows you to backup and restore Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. It consists of a server that runs on the cluster and a command line client that runs locally. Velero allows you to take on-demand or scheduled backups of your Kubernetes objects and persistent volumes to cloud object storage. It also allows restoring from backups, including restoring to different namespaces or clusters for disaster recovery, data migration, or ephemeral clusters.
