+## Cutting a new RC
+
+To generate the assets we go through git. Eli: do this on the rancher repo of the chart
+Eric: I do this in my fork and submit a PR to the rancher repo
+
+### 2.6.
+
+```
+cd backup-restore-operator
+git checkout release/v2.0
+git remote add release [email protected]:rancher/backup-restore-operator.git
+git pull release release/v2.0
+# check if commits are up2date
+git log -
+git tag v2.1.5
+git push release v2.1.5
+# watch build on https://drone-publish.rancher.io/rancher/backup-restore-operator
+
+```
+### 2.7.
+
+```
+cd backup-restore-operator
+git checkout release/v3.0
+git remote add release [email protected]:rancher/backup-restore-operator.git
+git pull release release/v3.0
+# check if commits are up2date

+cd backup-restore-operator # (rancher repo)
+git checkout release/v4.0
+git pull release/v4.0
+# check if commits are up2date
+git log -
+git tag v4.0.1-rc4
+git push v4.0.1-rc4
+# watch build on https://drone-publish.rancher.io/rancher/backup-restore-operator
+```
+
+Then edit the release on github to add the changelog.
+
+## Updating rancher/charts
+
+First remove the old rc and commit. 
+
+### Please note!!!!! 
+
+Don’t remove an old version if that version is an
+official release i.e. only delete old rc versions
+
+```
+make remove CHART=rancher-backup VERSION=103.0.1+up4.0.1-rc3
+make remove CHART=rancher-backup-crd VERSION=103.0.1+up4.0.1-rc3
+```
+
+### Make sure you don’t forget to do this for both the main chart and the `crd`
+
+Then update `packages/rancher-backup/rancher-backup*/package.yaml` (there may be more than one) and `release.yaml` to point to the new rc.
+
+For reference see this commit:
+https://github.com/rancher/charts/pull/1878/commits/8e41f8dc1f15033178abda9774181afa813d
+
+```
+rancher-backup:
+- 103.0.0+up4.0.1-rc4
+
+rancher-backup-crd:
+- 103.0.0+up4.0.1-rc4
+
+rancher-backup:
+- v4.0.1-rc4
+
+rancher-backup-crd:
+- v4.0.1-rc4
+```
+
+After this, commit again
+
+And finally:
+
+```
+make charts PACKAGE=rancher-backup
+```
+
+and commit again.
+
+
+# Don't know why, but we need to bring in the main release branch or validate will fail to pull it
+
+```
+git fetch upstream
+git co release-v2.8
+```
+
+### double check everything with `make validate`
+
