You can back up applications by creating a `Backup` custom resource (CR). For more information, see xref:../../../backup_and_restore/application_backup_and_restore/backing_up_and_restoring/oadp-creating-backup-cr.adoc#oadp-creating-backup-cr-doc[Creating a Backup CR].
The following are the different backup types for a `Backup` CR:

ifdef::openshift-rosa,openshift-rosa-hcp[]
The `Backup` CR creates backup files for Kubernetes resources and internal images on S3 object storage.
endif::openshift-rosa,openshift-rosa-hcp[]

ifndef::openshift-rosa,openshift-rosa-hcp[]
* The `Backup` CR creates backup files for Kubernetes resources and internal images on S3 object storage.

* If you use Velero's snapshot feature to back up a persistent volume data, only snapshot related information is stored in the s3 bucket along with the Openshift object data.
+
If the underlying storage or the backup bucket are part of the same cluster, then the data might be lost in case of disaster.

* If your cloud provider has a native snapshot API or supports CSI snapshots, the `Backup` CR backs up persistent volumes (PVs) by creating snapshots. For more information about working with CSI snapshots, see xref:../../../backup_and_restore/application_backup_and_restore/backing_up_and_restoring/oadp-backing-up-pvs-csi-doc.adoc#oadp-backing-up-pvs-csi-doc[Backing up persistent volumes with CSI snapshots].

For more information about CSI volume snapshots, see xref:../../../storage/container_storage_interface/persistent-storage-csi-snapshots.adoc#persistent-storage-csi-snapshots[CSI volume snapshots].
