My scenario is as following:  
I installed percona everest on my k8s and created namespace for mysql.  
In UI I created mysql db server and successfully made backup to minio S3 bucket, and also saved credentials from the secret regarding operator, monitor, proxyadmin, root, xtrabackup.  
After that I have reinstalled percona everest and recreated mysql namespace.  
In UI I have tried to restore DB using import option but it failed.  
I am new to percona everest and wonder if there is a chance to restore db to new cluster.  
Thanks

Hi, to help you better, please can you provide the following information?

1. More details of what exactly is failing – any failure messages or logs from the data-import pod or the pxc-restore pod
2. The information you entered on the import page (without the passwords)

It was my mistake, probably I had entered some wrong cretendtial for operator, monitor, proxyadmin, root or xtrabackup.  
I recreated the import and everything works well.  
Thanks
