After protection under the Kubernetes cluster protection policy, restore of namespace and PVCs can be done from individual namespace backups.

Use the following recovery options:

• Restore to original namespace: Restore to the original namespace on the original cluster.
• Restore to new namespace: Create a namespace and restore to this location on the original cluster or a different cluster.
• Restore to existing namespace: Restore to an existing namespace in the original cluster or a different cluster.
