+# Restore API Type
+
+## Use
+
+The `Restore` API type is used as a request for the Velero server to perform a Restore. Once created, the
+Velero Server immediately starts the Restore process.
+
+## API GroupVersion
+
+Restore belongs to the API group version `velero.io/v1`.
+
+## Definition
+
+Here is a sample `Restore` object with each of the fields documented:
+
+```yaml
+# Standard Kubernetes API Version declaration. Required.
+apiVersion: velero.io/v1
+# Standard Kubernetes Kind declaration. Required.
+kind: Restore
+# Standard Kubernetes metadata. Required.
+metadata:
+  # Restore name. May be any valid Kubernetes object name. Required.
+  name: a-very-special-backup-0000111122223333
+  # Restore namespace. Must be the namespace of the Velero server. Required.
+  namespace: velero
+# Parameters about the restore. Required.
+spec:
+  # BackupName is the unique name of the Velero backup to restore from.
+  backupName: a-very-special-backup
+  # Array of namespaces to include in the restore. If unspecified, all namespaces are included.
+  # Optional.
+  includedNamespaces:
+  - '*'
+  # Array of namespaces to exclude from the restore. Optional.
+  excludedNamespaces:
+  - some-namespace
+  # Array of resources to include in the restore. Resources may be shortcuts (e.g. 'po' for 'pods')
+  # or fully-qualified. If unspecified, all resources are included. Optional.
+  includedResources:
+  - '*'
+  # Array of resources to exclude from the restore. Resources may be shortcuts (e.g. 'po' for 'pods')
+  # or fully-qualified. Optional.
+  excludedResources:
+  - storageclasses.storage.k8s.io
+  # Whether or not to include cluster-scoped resources. Valid values are true, false, and
+  # null/unset. If true, all cluster-scoped resources are included (subject to included/excluded
+  # resources and the label selector). If false, no cluster-scoped resources are included. If unset,
+  # all cluster-scoped resources are included if and only if all namespaces are included and there are
+  # no excluded namespaces. Otherwise, if there is at least one namespace specified in either
+  # includedNamespaces or excludedNamespaces, then the only cluster-scoped resources that are backed
+  # up are those associated with namespace-scoped resources included in the restore. For example, if a
+  # PersistentVolumeClaim is included in the restore, its associated PersistentVolume (which is
+  # cluster-scoped) would also be backed up.
+  includeClusterResources: null
+  # Individual objects must match this label selector to be included in the restore. Optional.
+  labelSelector:
+    matchLabels:
+      app: velero
+      component: server
+  # NamespaceMapping is a map of source namespace names to
+  # target namespace names to restore into. Any source namespaces not
+  # included in the map will be restored into namespaces of the same name.
+  namespaceMapping:
+    namespace-backup-from: namespace-to-restore-to
+  # RestorePVs specifies whether to restore all included PVs
+  # from snapshot (via the cloudprovider).
+  restorePVs: true
+  # ScheduleName is the unique name of the Velero schedule
+  # to restore from. If specified, and BackupName is empty, Velero will
+  # restore from the most recent successful backup created from this schedule.
+  scheduleName: my-scheduled-backup-name
+# RestoreStatus captures the current status of a Velero restore. Users should not set any data here.
+status:
+  # The current phase. Valid values are New, FailedValidation, InProgress, Completed, PartiallyFailed, Failed.
+  phase: ""
+  # An array of any validation errors encountered.
+  validationErrors: null
+  # Number of warnings that were logged by the restore.
+  warnings: 2
+  # Errors is a count of all error messages that were generated
+  # during execution of the restore. The actual errors are stored in object
+  # storage.
+  errors: 0
+  # FailureReason is an error that caused the entire restore
+  # to fail.
+  failureReason:
