How it works

Backup policies created here are scoped to this deployment. Each policy creates a BackupPolicy CRD in the cluster. The PodWarden Backup Operator watches for these CRDs and handles scheduling and execution automatically — no manual apply step is required.

Each backup run is tracked as a BackupRun resource. Restore operations create a RestoreRun resource that the operator processes.

For full backup documentation including hot and cold modes, retention settings, pre-backup hooks, and restore procedures, see the Backups guide.
