+Restore stateful application procedure
+--------------------------------------
+
+.. note::
+
+   PersistentVolumeClaim/PersistentVolume backup and restore is currently only available for ACC and AMP clusters.
+
+1. Download and install Velero CLI following the `official guide <https://velero.io/docs/v1.7/basic-install/#install-the-cli>`_.
+   You'll also need ``kubectl`` and ``helm`` command line tools.
+
+2. Download the K8S config of the target cluster from Rancher to your workstation.
+
+3. Open Rancher **Continuous Delivery** > **Clusters** dashboard,
+   find the cluster the target application is running on,
+   and temporarily update the cluster label used as the target application's cluster selector
+   to uninstall the application and prevent it from being reinstalled during the restore process.
+   Refer to the table below for the cluster selector labels for the Aether applications.
+   It may take several minutes for the application uninstalled.
+
+   +-------------+-----------------+------------------+
+   | Application | Original Label  | Temporary Label  |
+   +-------------+-----------------+------------------+
+   | cassandra   | core4g=enabled  | core4g=disabled  |
+   +-------------+-----------------+------------------+
+   | mongodb     | core5g=enabled  | core5g=disabled  |
+   +-------------+-----------------+------------------+
+   | roc         | roc=enabled     | roc=disabled     |

+
+4. Clean up existing PVC and PV for the application. In this guide, Cassandra is used as an example.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   # Assume that we lost all HSSDB data
+   $ kubectl exec cassandra-0 -n aether-sdcore -- cqlsh $cassandra_ip -e 'select * from vhss.users_imsi'
+   <stdin>:1:InvalidRequest: code=2200 [Invalid query] message="Keyspace vhss does not exist"
+
+   # Confirm the application is uninstalled after updating the cluster label
+   $ helm list -n aether-sdcore
+   (no result)
+
+   # Clean up any remaining resources including PVC
+   $ kubectl delete ns aether-sdcore
+
+   # Clean up released PVs if exists
+   $ kubectl delete pv $(kubectl get pv | grep cassandra | grep Released | awk '$1 {print$1}')
+
+5. Find a backup to restore.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   # Find the relevant backup schedule name
+   $ velero schedule get
+   NAME                      STATUS    CREATED                         SCHEDULE    BACKUP TTL   LAST BACKUP   SELECTOR

+
+6. Update the backup storage location to read-only mode to prevent backup object from being created or
+   deleted in the backup location during the restore process.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   $ kubectl patch backupstoragelocations default \
+       --namespace velero \
+       --type merge \
+       --patch '{"spec":{"accessMode":"ReadOnly"}}'
+
+7. Create a restore with the most recent backup.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   # Create restore
+   $ velero restore create --from-backup velero-daily-sdcore-20211001000013
+
+   # Wait STATUS become Completed

+
+8. Confirm that PVCs are restored and "Bound" to the restored PV successfully.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   $ kubectl get pvc -n aether-sdcore
+   NAME                STATUS   VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE
