How to verify/restore backups created by CronJob

[basilv]

The documentation is very unclear how to verify or restore backups created by a CronJob. There's no running pod to connect to for running the verify, versus the long-running backup container approach.

Would it be just as easy as running a second CronJob to run the backup script in verification mode?

It should be. The command would be /backup.sh -s -v all, rather than /backup.sh -1.

Including the -s option caused an error as it seemed to think it was running in scheduled mode and couldn't fine the schedule setting. Running /backup.sh -v all seemed to do the trick.

Also, I didn't need a separate CronJob, I just changed the one CronJob's command to:
- "/bin/bash"
- "-c"
- "/backup.sh -c && /backup.sh -1 && /backup.sh -v all"
