Summary
Context
JupyterHub user PVCs (
claim-{username}) are the primary store of user work. There is currently no backup or recovery mechanism. This ADR evaluates three approaches and proposes Velero file-system backup with a helper-pod pattern.The key insight from the POC: Velero's file-system backup (Kopia) requires a running pod to mount the volume, and Velero's restore injects data-download init containers only into pods it creates. Since JupyterHub user servers are ephemeral and spawned by KubeSpawner (not Velero), both backup and restore need lightweight helper pods to bridge the gap.
