BlueXP backup and recovery enables you to restore applications that you have protected with a protection policy. To restore an application, an application needs to have at least one restore point available. A restore point consists of either the local snapshot or the backup to the object store (or both). You can restore an application using the local, secondary, or object store archive.

Required BlueXP role

Organization admin or SnapCenter admin. Learn about BlueXP backup and recovery access roles. Learn about BlueXP access roles for all services.

    Each rule can filter on criteria such as the resource namespace, labels, group, version, and kind.

  4. Select Save to save each rule.

  5. When you have added all the rules you need, select Search to see the resources available in the backup archive that match your filter criteria.
