# Disaster recovery
*Using Schedules and Restore-Only Mode*
If you periodically back up your cluster's resources, you are able to return to a previous state in case of some unexpected mishap, such as a service outage. Doing so with Velero looks like the following:
1. After you first run the Velero server on your cluster, set up a daily backup (replacing `<SCHEDULE NAME>` in the command as desired):
```
velero schedule create <SCHEDULE NAME> --schedule "0 7 * * *"
```
This creates a Backup object with the name `<SCHEDULE NAME>-<TIMESTAMP>`.
1. A disaster happens and you need to recreate your resources.
1. Update the Velero server deployment, adding the argument for the `server` command flag `restore-only` set to `true`. This prevents Backup objects from being created or deleted during your Restore process.
1. Create a restore with your most recent Velero Backup:
```
velero restore create --from-backup <SCHEDULE NAME>-<TIMESTAMP>
```
