kubectl create secret generic k10-dr-secret \
    --namespace kasten-io \
    --from-literal key=<passphrase>

Install a fresh K10 instance

Ensure that Flux has correctly deployed K10 to it's namespace kasten-io

flux get hr -n kasten-io

Verify the nfs storage profile was created

kubectl get profiles -n kasten-io

Restoring the K10 backup

Install the helm chart that creates the K10 restore job and wait for completion of the k10-restore job

The <source-cluster-id> was set during the first installation of k10

helm install k10-restore kasten/k10restore -n kasten-io \
    --set sourceClusterID=<source-cluster-id> \
    --set profile.name=nfs

Application recovery

Upon completion of the DR Restore job, go to the Applications card, select Removed under the Filter by status drop-down menu.
