Velero is the most popular tool for backing up and restoring Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. However, there may be situations where you need to restore Velero backup data without using Velero itself.

For example, if you’re about to go skydiving, you'd want to know that the parachute strapped to your back underwent rigorous testing and will perform it's needed most. The same is true with the systems supporting our security initiatives. What happens when those systems are under high pressure in an emergency?
