For various regulatory and compliance requirements, we need to demonstrate that we’ve tested our backups. Looking at the documentation for Operator, it appears that restores need to be done on the same cluster from which the backup was taken: i.e :
kubectl get ps-backup
“Obviously, you can make this check only on the same cluster on which you have previously made the backup.”

Is this genuinely the case, or can we create a new cluster with the same name, config and S3 parameters and restore that way?
