+# Restore Procedure Runbook
+
+## Overview
+
+This runbook documents the tested disaster recovery procedure for restoring namespaces from OADP backups. The strategy is to perform in-place restores (replacing the original namespace) rather than parallel restores, which avoids resource conflicts and is simpler to validate.
+
+**Tested Applications:**
+- **n8n** (monthly): Stateful app with PostgreSQL database. Has independent flow backups as safety net.
+- **mailhog** (monthly): Stateless app for SMTP testing.
+- **gitea** (one-shot validation): Full production restore to validate entire strategy.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- kubectl/oc access to cluster
+- Velero CLI installed (optional but helpful)
+- ArgoCD access to pause reconciliation
+- Recent backup available for target namespace
+
+## Set Variables
+
+```bash
+VELERO_NS=openshift-adp
+SRC_NS=n8n              # Namespace to restore (n8n, mailhog, etc)
+TS=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
+RESTORE_NAME=${SRC_NS}-restore-${TS}
+BACKUP_NAME=daily-stateful-*  # Use most recent backup, or specify exact name
+```
+
+## Step 1: Pause GitOps Reconciliation
+
+Pause ArgoCD to prevent it from recreating resources while we're testing restore:
+
+```bash
+oc patch appproject infrastructure -n openshift-gitops \
+  -p '{"spec": {"sourceNamespaces": []}}' --type merge
+
+# Or via ArgoCD UI: Edit the Application, set Auto-Sync to Manual
+```
+
+> **Why**: GitOps will try to recreate namespaces/resources as they're deleted, interfering with the restore test.
+
+## Step 2: Delete Target Namespace
+
+```bash
+echo "Deleting namespace: $SRC_NS"
+oc delete ns $SRC_NS --wait=true
+
+# Verify it's gone
+oc get ns $SRC_NS 2>&1 | grep -i "not found" && echo "✓ Namespace deleted"
+```
+
+> **Note**: PersistentVolumes and backups remain intact.
+
+## Step 3: Get Latest Backup Name
+
+```bash
+# List recent backups for the namespace
+velero backup get --filter=includedNamespaces=$SRC_NS
+
+# Or via kubectl
+BACKUP_NAME=$(oc -n $VELERO_NS get backup -o jsonpath='{.items[-1].metadata.name}')
+echo "Using backup: $BACKUP_NAME"
+```
+
+## Step 4: Create Restore Resource
+
+```bash
+cat <<EOF | oc apply -f -
+apiVersion: velero.io/v1
+kind: Restore
+metadata:
+  name: $RESTORE_NAME
+  namespace: $VELERO_NS
+spec:
+  backupName: $BACKUP_NAME
+  includeClusterResources: false
+  includedNamespaces:
+    - $SRC_NS
+  restorePVs: true
+  excludedResources:
+    - routes.route.openshift.io  # Routes are environment-specific
+EOF
+```
+
+## Step 5: Monitor Restore Progress
+
+```bash
+# Watch restore status
+watch -n 5 "oc -n $VELERO_NS get restore $RESTORE_NAME -o jsonpath='{.status.phase}{\"\\n\"}'"
+
+# When complete, check for errors
+oc -n $VELERO_NS describe restore $RESTORE_NAME
+```
+
+**Expected phases:** New → InProgress → Completed (or PartiallyFailed)
+
+## Step 6: Validate Application Functionality
+
+### For n8n:
+
+```bash
+# Wait for pods to be ready
+oc -n $SRC_NS rollout status statefulset/postgres --timeout=5m
+oc -n $SRC_NS rollout status deployment/n8n --timeout=5m
+
+# Check if data is intact
+oc -n $SRC_NS logs -l app.kubernetes.io/name=n8n -c n8n --tail=50 | grep -i "started\|error\|failed"
+
+# Port-forward and test UI
+oc -n $SRC_NS port-forward svc/n8n 5678:5678 &
+sleep 2
+curl -s http://localhost:5678/healthz | jq .
+kill %1
+```
+
+### For mailhog:
+
+```bash
+oc -n $SRC_NS rollout status deployment/mailhog --timeout=5m
+
+# Verify service is responding
+oc -n $SRC_NS port-forward svc/mailhog 1025:1025 8025:8025 &
+sleep 2
+curl -s http://localhost:8025/ | head -20
+kill %1
+```
+
+### For any application:
+
+```bash
+# General validation
+oc -n $SRC_NS get all
+oc -n $SRC_NS get pvc
+oc -n $SRC_NS get secrets
+oc -n $SRC_NS get configmap
+
+# Check velero labels (proof of restore)
+oc -n $SRC_NS get deployment -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.labels.velero\.io/restore-name}'
+```
+
+## Step 7: Resume GitOps Reconciliation
+
+```bash
+# Re-enable ArgoCD
+oc patch appproject infrastructure -n openshift-gitops \
+  -p '{"spec": {"sourceNamespaces": ["*"]}}' --type merge
+
+# Or via ArgoCD UI: Re-enable Auto-Sync
+
+# Monitor for reconciliation
+watch -n 5 "oc -n openshift-gitops get applications.argoproj.io -l argocd.argoproj.io/instance=infrastructure"
+```
+
+## Step 8: Monitor for Reconciliation Flapping
+
+```bash
+# Watch for any conflicts or drift
+oc -n $SRC_NS get events --sort-by='.lastTimestamp' | tail -20
+
+# Check if deployments are stable
+oc -n $SRC_NS rollout status deployment/$SRC_NS --timeout=5m
+
+# Verify no pending changes in ArgoCD
+aoc app get infrastructure-$SRC_NS  # Check sync status
+```
+
+> If you see repeated reconciliation or conflicts, check:
+> - Are there immutable fields that changed?
+> - Did Velero inject labels that conflict with Helm?
+> - Is GitOps trying to scale/restart pods?
+
+## Step 9: Cleanup
+
+```bash
+# Delete the restore resource
+oc -n $VELERO_NS delete restore $RESTORE_NAME
+
+# (Namespace stays running - that's the point!)
+echo "✓ Restore test complete. $SRC_NS is now running from backup."
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Restore shows PartiallyFailed
+
+```bash
+oc -n $VELERO_NS describe restore $RESTORE_NAME | grep -A 50 "Status:"
+velero restore logs $RESTORE_NAME  # If Velero CLI is installed
+```
+
+### Pods stuck in Pending
+
+```bash
+oc -n $SRC_NS describe pod <pod-name>
+oc -n $SRC_NS get pvc  # Check if PVCs are bound
+oc get pv | grep $SRC_NS
+```
+
+### Data looks wrong
+
+- Check if you restored the correct backup
+- For databases (n8n, postgres): Check logs for corruption warnings
+- If corrupted: Re-delete namespace and restore from earlier backup
+
+## Testing Schedule
+
+- **Monthly**: n8n and mailhog (in-place, validated)
+- **One-shot after major changes**: Full application restores to validate strategy
+- **After backup retention policy changes**: Restore oldest available backup to verify
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+✅ Namespace deleted cleanly  
+✅ Restore completes without PartiallyFailed  
+✅ All pods reach Running state  
+✅ Application data is intact and queryable  
+✅ UI/APIs respond correctly  
+✅ GitOps reconciliation completes without conflicts  
+✅ velero.io/restore-name label visible on resources
