[K8SPSMDB-1059] Restore from backup without Secret resource #108

Community Note

Tell us about the feature

The problem:

We have backup management within our operator, but to recover from the backup users also need to keep the Secret with users and passwords somewhere, so that restoration is succesful.

We expect users to have a backup mechanism for secrets or have some centralized secret management system.

This becomes a problem especially in cases where the whole Kubernetes cluster fails and users need to provision the environment from scratch.

Proposal:

Remove the need for users to backup secrets. There is no good reason why we can’t perform the restore without users being pre-created.
