Create ObjectBucketClaim, and backup yamls. This should create an objectBucket in ODF storage, DataProtectionApplication Instance, and a backup instance created to backup "mariadb" namespace.

oc create -f obc.yaml
oc create -f dpa.yaml
oc create -f backup.yaml

Time to test: Go ahead and delete mariadb namespace, and restore it using below yaml. You should see all the apps running in the mariadb namespace

oc create -f restore.yaml
