Goal

Backup and restore of VMs via Velero/OADP is supported as GA in CNV 4.14.0 CNV-16552.  It is important to run the performance test the backup and restore with the kinds of VMs.
 

User Stories

• Backup and Restore of VMs via Velero/OADP with big VMs.(Multiple Windows, Multiple RHEL)
• For an informative result, it is critical that the VMs are performing some realistic workload during the backup process.  There should be I/O, CPU, and network activity.
• We must test that the workload in the VM recovers from the crash-consistent backup.  If using a DB, it should recover and resume running normally (perhaps with a few lost transactions) and (at least one of Postgres or MySQL on Linux, and MSFT SQL Server on Windows.)
• [Grooming]Multi-disk is still considered an advanced scenario since we do not yet have volume group snapshots.

Non-Requirements

• List of things not included in this epic, to alleviate any doubt raised during the grooming process.

Notes

• Multi-disk: the configurations where data is striped across disks (ie. DB on one disk and its journal on another) are not likely to work at all?
