After you set up the Velero server, you can clone the examples used in the following sections by running the following:
```
git clone https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero.git
cd velero
```
## Basic example (without PersistentVolumes)
1. Start the sample nginx app:
```bash
kubectl apply -f examples/nginx-app/base.yaml
```
1. Create a backup:
```bash
velero backup create nginx-backup --include-namespaces nginx-example
```
1. Simulate a disaster:
```bash
kubectl delete namespaces nginx-example
```
Wait for the namespace to be deleted.
1. Restore your lost resources:
```bash
velero restore create --from-backup nginx-backup
```
## Snapshot example (with PersistentVolumes)
> NOTE: For Azure, you must run Kubernetes version 1.7.2 or later to support PV snapshotting of managed disks.
1. Start the sample nginx app:
```bash
kubectl apply -f examples/nginx-app/with-pv.yaml
```
1. Create a backup with PV snapshotting:
```bash
velero backup create nginx-backup --include-namespaces nginx-example
```
1. Simulate a disaster:
```bash
kubectl delete namespaces nginx-example
```
Because the default [reclaim policy][1] for dynamically-provisioned PVs is "Delete", these commands should trigger your cloud provider to delete the disk that backs the PV. Deletion is asynchronous, so this may take some time. **Before continuing to the next step, check your cloud provider to confirm that the disk no longer exists.**
1. Restore your lost resources:
```bash
velero restore create --from-backup nginx-backup
```
