+= Restore Keycloak from a Backup
+
+The following steps will guide you through restoring a backup of Keycloak.
+
+[IMPORTANT]
+====
+This guide only covers how to restore the built-in database.
+If you use an external database, please consult the documentation of your database provider on how to backup and restore it.
+====
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+You can only restore a database that has been backed up.
+Please refer to the xref:how-tos/use-built-in-db.adoc#_enable_backups[built-in database] setup guide on how to enable backups.
+====
+
+====
+Requirements
+
+* `kubectl` With access to the cluster running Keycloak
+* `base64`
+* https://restic.net/[`restic`]
+* (optional) https://stedolan.github.io/jq/[`jq`]
+* `pwgen`
+* `vault`
+====
+
+. Configure access to backups
++
+[source,bash]
+----
+# The namspace containing the Keycloak instance. Change if necessary.
+export NAMESPACE=syn-keycloak
+
+export reposecret=$( \
+    kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get schedule backup \
+    -o go-template="{{.spec.backend.repoPasswordSecretRef.name}}" \
+  )
+export s3secret=$( \
+    kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get schedule backup \
+    -o jsonpath="{.spec.backend.s3.accessKeyIDSecretRef.name}" \
+  )
+
+export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=$( \
+    kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get schedule backup \
+    -o go-template="s3:{{.spec.backend.s3.endpoint}}/{{.spec.backend.s3.bucket}}/" \
+  )
+export RESTIC_PASSWORD=$( \
+    kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get secrets $reposecret \
+    -o jsonpath={.data.password} \
+    | base64 -d \
+  )
+export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$( \

+    kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get secrets $s3secret \
+    -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" \
+    | base64 -d \
+  )
+----
+
+. List backups and choose the one to restore
++
+[source,bash]
+----
+restic snapshots
+
+export SNAPSHOT_ID=XXXXXX # Choose a snapshot id from the list
+----
++
+[TIP]
+====
+To choose the last available backup you can simply run
+[source,bash]
+----
+export SNAPSHOT_ID=$(restic snapshots --json --latest 1 --path /$NAMESPACE-keycloak-postgresql.sql | jq -r '.[0].id')
+----
+====
+
+. Disable ArgoCD auto sync
++
+[source,bash]
+----
+# The ArgoCD app of the Keycloak instance. Change if necessary.
+export ARGO_APP=keycloak
+
+kubectl -n syn patch apps root --type=json \
+  -p '[{"op":"replace", "path":"/spec/syncPolicy", "value": {}}]'
+kubectl -n syn patch apps ${ARGO_APP} --type=json \
+  -p '[{"op":"replace", "path":"/spec/syncPolicy", "value": {}}]'
+----
+
+. Scale down Keycloak
++
+[source,bash]
+----
+kubectl -n $NAMESPACE patch statefulset keycloak --type=json \
+  -p '[{"op":"replace", "path":"/spec/replicas", "value": 0}]'
+
+# Wait until statefulset has been scaled down
+kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get statefulset keycloak -w
+----
+
+. Load the backup and restore it
++
+[source,bash]
+----
+export POD=keycloak-postgresql-0
+
+restic dump "${SNAPSHOT_ID}" /$NAMESPACE-keycloak-postgresql.sql \
+  | kubectl -n $NAMESPACE exec -i $POD \
+  -- sh -c 'PGPASSWORD="${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}" psql --set ON_ERROR_STOP=on -U "${POSTGRES_USER}" ${POSTGRES_DB}'
+----
+
+. Re-enable ArgoCD auto sync and scale up Keycloak
++
+[source,bash]
+----
+kubectl -n syn patch apps root --type=json \
+  -p '[{
+    "op":"replace",
+    "path":"/spec/syncPolicy",
+    "value": {"automated": {"prune": true, "selfHeal": true}}
+  }]'
+
+# Wait until Keycloak has started sucessfully
+kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get statefulset keycloak -w
+----
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+This guide assumes that you have direct access to the S3 bucket holding the backup.
+If the access is restricted to the Kubernetes cluster, you will need to adapt these steps.
+You could:
+
+. Perform the commands in a container running on the cluster
+. Restore the database backup to a PVC and copy it over
+
+Consult the official https://k8up.io/k8up/2.1/how-tos/restore.html#_restore_from_s3_to_pvc[K8up documentation] on options for restoring backups.

 . Compile and push the cluster catalog
+
+== Enable Backups
+
+The component supports backups for the built-in database through https://k8up.io/[K8up].
+The following steps show how to enable them.
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+To use this backup feature, the https://github.com/projectsyn/component-backup-k8up[component-backup-k8up] needs to be installed on the cluster.
+====
+
+. Enable backups in component parameters
++
+[source,yaml]
+----
+keycloak:
+  k8up:
+    enabled: true
+----
+
+. Generate and store repository secret in Vault
++
+[source,bash]
+----
+key="clusters/kv/${TENANT_ID}/${CLUSTER_ID}/keycloak"
+
+vault kv patch "${key}" k8up-repo-password=$(pwgen -s 32 1)
+----
+
+. Get the access and secret key of your S3 provider and store them in Vault
++
+[source,bash]
+----
+s3_access_key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
+s3_secret_key=YOUR_SECRET_KEY
+key="clusters/kv/${TENANT_ID}/${CLUSTER_ID}/keycloak"
+
+vault kv patch "${key}" k8up-s3-accesskey=${s3_access_key} k8up-s3-secretkey=${s3_secret_key} k8up-repo-password=$(pwgen -s 32 1)
+----
++
+[TIP]
+====
+On most clusters you should be able to reuse the global backup credentials set up during cluster creation.
+Just add a reference to the credentials in Vault to the K8up S3 configuration and you can skip this step.
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+keycloak:
+  k8up:
+    enabled: true
+    s3:
+      accesskey: '?{vaultkv:${customer:name}/${cluster:name}/global-backup/access-key}'
+      secretkey: '?{vaultkv:${customer:name}/${cluster:name}/global-backup/secret-key}'
