* Use pod namespace from backup when matching PVBs In #3051, we introduced an additional check to ensure that a PVB matched a particular pod by checking both the name and the namespace of the pod. This caused an issue when using a namespace mapping on restore. In the case where a namespace mapping is being used, the check for whether a PVB matches a particular pod will fail as the PVB was created for the original pod namespace and is not aware of the new namespace mapping being used. This resulted in PVRs not being created for pods that were being restored into new namespaces. The restic init containers were being created to wait on the volume restore, however this would cause the restored pods to block indefinitely as they would be waiting for a volume restore that was not scheduled. To fix this, we use the original namespace of the pod from the backup to match the PVB to the pod being restored, not the new namespace where the pod is being restored into. Fixes #3467.

Overview
Velero (formerly Heptio Ark) gives you tools to back up and restore your Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. You can run Velero with a public cloud platform or on-premises. Velero lets you:
- Take backups of your cluster and restore in case of loss.
- Migrate cluster resources to other clusters.
- Replicate your production cluster to development and testing clusters.
Velero consists of:
- A server that runs on your cluster
- A command-line client that runs locally
