Backup Architecture details

• we use restic to produce small & encrypted backups
• backup is scheduled at schedule: "10 23 * * *"
• Jira stores files on /var/jira, these files are backuped. If you create a jira xml backup located in /var/jira this file will also be backed up.
• postgres db is backed up as pgdump

2. exec into pod and execute restore pod
   kubectl exec -it backup-restore -- /usr/local/bin/init.sh
3. remove backup-and-restore pod:
   `kubectl delete pod backup-restore
