+Backup and Restore Solution
+###########################
+
+Problem Statement and Requirement (User Story)
+==============================================
+
+As an ONAP Operator- We require the ability to backup and restore ONAP state data, We want to have Disaster recovery solution for ONAP deployment done over K8.
+
+Basic Use case would be
+
+1) Add/Update/Modify the POD Data or DB Data.
+2) Simulate a Disaster
+3) Restore using Backup.
+4) POD Data/DB entries should be recovered.
+
+Solution Description
+====================
+
+Narrowed down upon a tool which can be used for K8 Backup and Restoration for ONAP deployments named as Velero (formerly Heptio-ARK)
+
+Velero is  an Opensource tool to back up and restore your Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. Velero lets you:
+
+* Take backups of your cluster and restore in case of loss.
+* Copy cluster resources across cloud providers. NOTE: Cloud volume migrations are not yet supported.
+* Replicate your production environment for development and testing environments.
+
+Velero consists of
+
+* A server that runs on your cluster
+* A command-line client that runs locally

+Installation
+============
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+- Access to a Kubernetes cluster, version 1.7 or later.
+- A DNS server on the cluster
+- kubectl installed
+- Labels should be defined there.
+
+Install Velero Tool
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Velero is an open source tool to safely backup and restore, perform disaster recovery, and migrate Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes.
+
+Go to `Velero official website`_ and Click on DOWNLOAD VELERO BUTTON. It will take you to the github page to download the latest version of velero. Scroll down to the
+bottom of the page and choose the binary corresponding to the OS where you want to run the Velero on.
+
+Install and configure Velero Server and Client
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To configure the latest version (1.5.2) of velero on Linux machine, please follow the below steps.
+
+Run the below command. It will download the velero to your machine
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   wget https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/releases/download/v1.5.2/velero-v1.5.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz
+
+Extract it using below command
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   tar -zxvf velero-v1.5.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz
+
+Once extracted, goto the directory "velero-v1.5.2-linux-amd64"
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   cd velero-v1.5.2-linux-amd64
+
+Inside this you will find a directory called examples and then minio, just go inside it
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   cd examples/minio
+
+Inside this you will find a file called 00-minio-deployment.yaml. Open this file using any editor and look for Velero service yaml portion, there you need to change
+the type from ClusterIP to NodePort
+
+Once made the changes then run the below command to deploy velero server
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   kubectl apply -f 00-minio-deployment.yaml
+
+This will configure the Velero with Minio. Minio is nothing but local storage with aws s3 capabilities. Velero support many cloud providers as well like Azure,AWS,GCP
+etc. You can configure any of those.
+
+Once the Velero deployment is done, then we need to install and configure the velero server component using velero cli.
+
+Create a Velero-specific credentials file (credentials-velero) in your local directory
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   [default]
+   aws_access_key_id=minio
+   aws_secret_access_key=minio123
+
+Start the server and the local storage service. In the Velero directory, run
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ./velero install \
+    --provider aws \
+    --plugins velero/velero-plugin-for-aws:v1.0.0 \
+    --bucket velero \
+    --secret-file ./credentials-velero \
+    --use-volume-snapshots=false \
+    --backup-location-config region=minio,s3ForcePathStyle="true",s3Url=http://minio.velero.svc:9000
+    --use-restic
+
+Refer this for more details: `Setup Velero Server`_
+
+.. note::
+
+   As Labels need to be defined, because that is a unique identity which we need to have for any backup of our k8 containers,
+
+   So in OOM code, Where -ever we don't have labels, We need to define that whether its configmap or secret, for eg below:-
+
+   labels:
+
+   app: {{ include "common.name" . }}
+   chart: {{ .Chart.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Version | replace "+" "_" }}
+   release: {{ .Release.Name }}
+   heritage: {{ .Release.Service }}
+
+Running Velero Example (Backup and Restoration with Logs)
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+1) Install SO component
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. note::
+
+   This is an optional step, if you have already installed SO or all other components of ONAP then you can skip this step.
+
+Below is the example of installing SO component using helm
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  helm install so -n bkup --namespace test3

+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   helm delete --purge bkup
+
+   release "bkup" deleted
+
+6)Restoring the kubernetes resources using velero
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   ./velero restore create --from-backup so-backup
+
+    Restore request "so-backup-20180720071236" submitted successfully.
+
+    Run `velero restore describe so-backup-20180720071236` for more details.
+
+
+7) Checking restoration logs

+
+
+8)Check backup files
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As we are using Minio which is local storage with aws s3 capabilities. Thus our all the backup files are being stored in locally in Minio Pod. Let's see where the backup files are being genreted.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   kubectl get pod -n velero
+   NAME                      READY   STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE

+
+
+9) Restore run
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+

+
+
+10) Check the pod status
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   kubectl get pods --all-namespaces | grep -i so
+
+   NAMESPACE       NAME                                    READY     STATUS             RESTARTS   AGE
+
+   test3           bkup-so-7668c746c-vngk8                 2/2       Running            0          8m
+
+   test3           bkup-so-db-744fccd888-w67zk             1/1       Running            0          8m

+Use Cases
+---------
+
+Disaster recovery
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Using Schedules and Restore-Only Mode
+
+If you periodically back up your cluster’s resources, you are able to return to a previous state in case of some unexpected mishap, such as a service outage.
+
+Cluster migration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Using Backups and Restores
+
+Velero can help you port your resources from one cluster to another, as long as you point each Velero Config to the same cloud object storage.
