+== Backup scope for hosted clusters
+
+When using {acm-short} to manage hosted clusters with {mce-short} hosting clusters, you need to know the scope of the {acm-short} backup and recovery operation.
+
+{acm-short} only recovers the management capability of {mce-short} hosting clusters and the attached hosted clusters. This includes the following functional areas:
+
+- Discovery and import configuration: Auto-discovery policies and `DiscoveredCluster` resources
+- Management resources: Policies, applications, and governance configurations applied to hosted clusters
+- Backup labels: Resources marked with `cluster.open-cluster-management.io/backup` labels
+- Add-on configurations: HyperShift addon settings and deployment configurations
+
+The following functional areas are outside the disaster recovery scope:
+
+- {mce-short} hosting clusters: Physical infrastructure and cluster lifecycle
+- Hosted clusters: The actual hosted control planes and their workloads
+- Hosted cluster data: Applications, persistent volumes, and user data within hosted clusters
+
+For complete disaster recovery in hosted cluster environments, implement a multi-layered backup strategy that includes the following processes: 
+
+* {acm-short} hub cluster backup
+
+    - Purpose: Restore management capabilities and discovery configurations
+    - Scope {acm-short} resources, policies, applications, and addon configurations
+    - Implementation: Use {acm-short}'s cluster-backup-operator
+
+* Hosted cluster backup
+    - Purpose: Backup hosted control planes and workloads
+    - Scope: Hosted cluster etcd, persistent volumes, and application data
+    - Implementation: Follow link:https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.18/html/hosted_control_planes/high-availability-for-hosted-control-planes#hcp-disaster-recovery-oadp[OpenShift Hosted Control Plane Disaster Recovery documentation].
+
+* The {mce-short} hosting cluster backup
+    -  Purpose: Backup the infrastructure hosting the control planes
+    -  Scope: {mce-short} cluster state and configurations
+    -  Implementation: Standard {ocp-short} backup procedures

+= Restoring {hcp} management configuration
+
+When restoring hosted clusters that are managed by {acm-short}, follow steps to ensure a successful recovery of both the {acm-short} hub cluster and the hosted clusters.
+
+Follow link:https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.18/html/hosted_control_planes/high-availability-for-hosted-control-planes#hcp-disaster-recovery-oadp[OpenShift Hosted Control Plane Disaster Recovery documentation].
+
+.Procedure
+
+See the following guidance to restore {hcp} management configuration
+
+. Restore the {acm-short} hub cluster. See xref:../backup_restore/backup_restore.adoc#restore-backup[Restoring a backup].
+. Deploy new {acm-short} hub with same configuration as the original. See xref:../backup_restore/backup_install.adoc#dr4hub-install-backup-and-restore[Installing the backup and restore operator]
+. Enable backup component and configure OADP.
+. Restore {acm-short} backup by using the `cluster-backup-operator`. 
+. Verify discovery and auto-import policies are restored. See xref:../../mce_acm_integration/discover_hosted/acm_discover_hosted.adoc#discover-hosted-acm[Discovering {mce-short} hosted clusters in {acm-short}]
+
+. Verify that {mce-short} hosted environment is reconnected to the restored {acm-short} hub cluster. See xref:../backup_restore/backup_restore.adoc#restore-backup[Restoring a backup]. The following clusters and resources are restored when the backup and restore is successful:
+    - {mce-short} hosting clusters automatically reconnect to restored {acm-short} hub cluster.
+    - The `hypershift-addon` resumes discovery operations.
+    - Previously discovered hosted clusters are rediscovered.
+
+. Recover your hosted cluster. Hosted clusters require a separate recovery by using individual backup procedures. The {acm-short} hub cluster automatically rediscovers clusters after the APIs become available. See https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/openshift_container_platform/4.19/html/hosted_control_planes/high-availability-for-hosted-control-planes#hcp-disaster-recovery-oadp-auto.
