Goal

To validate and establish OADP as a Disaster Recovery solution for OpenShift Virtualization at scale. 
This involves testing from a CNV perspective to ensure reliable recovery of virtualized workloads and define clear operational procedures. 
The expected outcome is confirmed DR capabilities for CNV environments using OADP.

User Stories

• As a Cluster Administrator, I want to implement and verify a scalable DR process using OADP for CNV workloads, so that I can ensure high availability and rapid service restoration for the platform in the event of a site-wide failure.
• As a Developer, I want assurance that the CNV-hosted services I depend on can be reliably recovered using OADP in a disaster scenario, so that I can trust in the platform's resilience and minimize disruption to my applications.

Non-Requirements

• Defining specific RTO/RPO (Recovery Time Objective/Recovery Point Objective) targets; this Epic will focus on testing capabilities against pre-defined targets.
• Implementing automated DR failover/failback orchestration that extends beyond the inherent capabilities of OADP.
• Addressing DR for any workloads other than CNV workloads.
• Selection or procurement of new backup storage infrastructure; existing lab storage will be utilized.
• Utilization of public cloud provider infrastructure for DR testing; all testing will be conducted using the internal scale lab infrastructure.

Notes

• Initial testing of OADP for basic VM backup/restore has been done, but this Epic focuses on comprehensive DR validation from a CNV perspective at scale.
