Restoring a snapshot to new PVC

If you want to use and update a point-in-time copy of the application data, you can restore the snapshot of that application's persistent volume to a new persistent volume that represents the previous state described by the snapshot. To restore a volume from a snapshot, you must specify the name of the VolumeSnapshot object that you want to restore as the value of the dataSource attribute.

Note:

While restoring a snapshot or a clone to a new PVC, you must specify the exact same storage details as specified in the source PVC.

To restore a snapshot to a new PVC:

  1. Define a Persistent Volume Claim object using the yaml and specify the name of the VolumeSnapshot object that you want to restore in the dataSource attribute:
    csi-dynamic-snapshot-restore.yaml
---
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: csi-infoscale-snapshot-restore
spec:
storageClassName: csi-infoscale-sc
accessModes:
- ReadWriteMany
resources:
requests:
storage: 5Gi
dataSource:
name: csi-dynamic-snapshot
kind: VolumeSnapshot
apiGroup: snapshot.storage.k8s.io
  2. Create the Persistent Volume Claim.
     oc create -f csi-dynamic-snapshot-restore.yaml
