Hey,  
This might be a dumb question, but I don’t have a snapshot tab in the admin console (though I am able to take snapshots from the CLI on the host). How do I enable it? seems like I’m missing something because I didn’t find it in the documentation or the forums.  
Thanks.

Hi,  
It shows up when you have a Backup manifest defined in your application, example:

```auto
apiVersion: velero.io/v1
kind: Backup
metadata:
  name: backup
spec: {}

```

For future reference, here’s that info in the documentation as well - [About Backup and Restore | Replicated Docs](https://docs.replicated.com/vendor/snapshots-overview#how-to-enable-backup-and-restore) (specifically bullet 2 on defining a backup manifest)
