 - `backup-k8s-resources-cronjob.yaml` — daily dump of Kubernetes resources into `backup-storage` PVC.
 - `backup-volumes-cronjob.yaml` — daily rsync/tar of Grafana + Loki PVCs into `backup-storage`. Prometheus data is NOT included here — it lives on a different node (see below). Being retired by the restic pipeline in [DEV-482](/DEV/issues/DEV-482) — keep running until step 6 (restore drill passed).
 - `backup-loki-restic-cronjob.yaml` — daily restic backup of `loki-storage-encrypted` to `hetzner-s3:${BUCKET}/restic/loki`. Co-schedules with the Loki pod via `podAffinity` (RWO permits additional read-only mounts on the same node). Deployed in parallel with `backup-volumes` per the [DEV-482](/DEV/issues/DEV-482) Option 4 rollout ([DEV-485](/DEV/issues/DEV-485)).
+- `backup-grafana-restic-cronjob.yaml` — daily restic backup of `grafana-storage` to `hetzner-s3:${BUCKET}/restic/grafana`. Pinned to `k3s-worker-2` via `nodeSelector` (the local-path PV anchors the grafana pod there already, no `podAffinity` needed). Schedule `15 3 * * *` — offset from the loki run at `03:00`. Deployed in parallel with `backup-volumes` per the [DEV-482](/DEV/issues/DEV-482) Option 4 rollout ([DEV-486](/DEV/issues/DEV-486)).
 - `prometheus-backup-cronjob.yaml` + `prometheus-backup-sealed.yaml` — dedicated Prometheus data backup that streams `prometheus-data-encrypted` to Hetzner S3 via rclone. Co-schedules with the Prometheus pod via `podAffinity` so the RWO PVC attaches on the same node ([DEV-465](/DEV/issues/DEV-465)).
 
 The `backup-storage` PVC (100Gi, local-path, bound to k3s-worker-2) is the shared destination for `backup-k8s-resources` and `backup-volumes`.

+# Streams the RWO PVC `grafana-storage` (mounted read-only) into
+# `s3:${S3_ENDPOINT}/${S3_BUCKET}/restic/grafana`, a client-side
+# encrypted restic repository. Deployed in parallel with the legacy

+# `grafana-storage` is a local-path PV anchored on k3s-worker-2, so
+# the grafana pod is already pinned there; a plain nodeSelector on
+# the same host is enough (no podAffinity like the loki job needed).
