Was out sick late last week, not a ton of updates from me. Spent yesterday replying to things I’d missed
Need to get 2373 reviewed and merged this week so we can get CRD restore fixes started
Will also make a test of using the v1beta1 client approach
Will be on Brett Fisher’s YouTube channel this Thursday at 1pm ET - https://youtu.be/pRgap975b5E

Discussion Topics

[steve] demo of backup progress
[stephanie] - can we document how to execute backup and recovery in an airgapped environment?
[nrb] - this is partially documented at https://velero.io/docs/v1.3.2/on-premises/#on-premises-environments, though it’s incomplete since there’s a lot of possible options in airgapped/on-prem environments
[from timh] Perhaps we can reuse some of the docs over at Sonobuoy
[carlisia] Question: should we (RE)consider not crashlooping for when there’s no BSL? This issue was posed here: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/1967#issuecomment-620208525
[marccampbell] Custom Restore Hooks proposal: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pull/2465
