Create a restore

This page contains instructions for how to restore a Harbor instance backup in Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped.

Restores require an existing backup to function. The restore uses the specified backup data for the restoration. A restore only supports restoring a Harbor instance that has the same reference as the backup. The original Harbor instance must be deleted before restoration starts.

Before you begin

To create a restore, you must have access to the following:

• The necessary identity and access roles:

  • Harbor Instance Admin: has full access to manage Harbor instances in a project. Ask your Organization IAM Admin to grant you the Harbor Instance Admin (harbor-instance-admin) role.
  • Secret Admin: required for operating in the GDC console. Ask your Organization IAM Admin to grant you the Secret Admin (secret-admin) role.

• An existing backup. You create backups from the following sources:

  • GDC creates backups automatically as defined in the backup plan schedule. For more information, see Create a backup plan.
  • You create manual backups. For more information, see Create a manual backup.

Create a restore

Create a restore in the GDC console or the API.
